22 January 2026

58% of Canadian workers say they experience high levels of stress at work—well above the global average (40%).

A striking figure that takes on even greater meaning in light of the reform of Bill 27, which now requires employers to integrate mental health into their prevention mechanisms.

In this episode, Elisabeth Starenkyj and Alexandre X. Comtois, welcome Mikaël Maher, Partner at Fasken, who breaks down the legal implications of Bill 27, along with Eric Girard, Co-founder of entête – headfirst, who shares practical strategies to reduce psychosocial risks.

Topics discussed include:

✔️ New legal obligations related to mental health;

✔️ Psychosocial risks to identify and control;

✔️ Levers to build a coherent culture, where prevention goes beyond mere compliance.

A question for you:

What concrete actions can truly reduce workplace stress—without turning Bill 27 into a simple compliance exercise?
