At Black & McDonald, employee well-being is more than just a program—it’s a core part of who we are. We recognize that true well-being extends beyond the workplace, encompassing all aspects of an individual’s health, happiness, and sense of purpose.
Our Commitment
B&M is committed to creating an environment where employees can thrive. This includes:
- Providing a safe, respectful, and positive workplace
- Offering comprehensive benefits and support programs
- Continuously reviewing and improving our well-being initiatives
Our goal is to ensure every employee has access to the tools and resources they need to feel their best—at work and at home.
Take the First Step: Mental Health Learning on Litmos
Black & McDonald, in partnership with mental health advocate Michael Landsberg, is proud to offer the First Step Program—a series of self-guided mental health modules available on Litmos.
This two-hour program helps build understanding and support for depression and anxiety, whether for yourself or others. Upon completion, employees can earn the B&M Mental Health Advocate Certificate, accredited by the Mood Disorders Society of Canada.
Available on Litmos:
- First Step Program (6 modules, 16 chapters)
- Mental Health Advocate Certificate
- Resource Library with videos and practical tools
We encourage all employees—at every level—to take this important step toward better mental health.
