Celebrating Canada Day | A Moment to Reflect & Look Ahead

Oh Canada! As Canadians across the country gather on July 1st to celebrate Canada Day, we here at Windley Ely are taking a moment to reflect on the values that unite us: resilience, innovation, and a commitment to supporting one another.

Just like our nation, Canadian workplaces thrive when everyone feels protected, supported, and set up for success. At Windley Ely, we work every day to make that possible by helping employers navigate the complexities of workers’ compensation and disability claims management. 

From coast to coast, we provide the clarity, support, and expertise organizations require to take care of their people and their business – because peace of mind shouldn’t be seasonal or a once-a-year type of occurrence.

And in spirit of those values, here are 3 quick tips to keep your team and workplace safe and supported this Canada Day:

1. Remind Staff About Reporting Protocols

Even during holiday weeks, workplace incidents or personal injuries can happen. Make sure your employees know how to report an injury or health concern – even if it occurs off-hours or remotely. Having this open line of communication and reminders in place is essential for your company’s overall trust and longevity. 

2. Review Safety Measures for Events or Modified Schedules

If your business is hosting an event for this year’s celebration or changing work hours for Canada Day, take a moment to review any additional safety precautions that may be needed so that you’re prepared while everyone is away and all set for your team’s return.

3. Support a Smooth Return-to-Work After the Break

Coming back after time off can increase the risk of injury due to reduced alertness or certain schedule changes. A way to help ease the transition is to maintain clear communication and support systems before, during and after the break.

This Canada Day, while you enjoy time with family, community, and colleagues, know that we’re here to support you – today and every day – with smarter, more strategic solutions.

From all of us here at Windley Ely, we wish you a safe, joyful, and Happy Canada Day!
