With a Stay-at-Work/Return-to-Work Assessment, Insight Corporate can assess:
- the type and extent of mental health injury sustained by the employee and the effects experienced by the employee,
- how the mental health injury and effects might impact the employee’s fitness to remain working or readiness to return to work,
- the type of work accommodations that may be needed to ease the employee’s return to work or continuation of work,
- the treatment and support that may be needed to help the employee’s continued recovery, resiliency building, and performance restoration.
Gaining clarity on the employee’s capacity to stay at work or to return to work as well as of the types of accommodations that may be needed would allow the employer to plan accordingly to ensure the employee’s successful stay at work or return to work.

A 2022 global study by The Workforce Institute involving 3400 participants found that 69% of participants say that their manager has a significant impact on their mental health, akin to that of their partner (69%), and more than the impact from their doctors (51%).
This study confirms what we already know – a leader plays a critical role in fostering employee mental wellness, safety, and productivity. As such, it is paramount that they have the ability to do so effectively and such ability or lack thereof, is often manifested in a range of leadership dimensions, skills, and competencies. They include but not limited to:
- Leadership styles and approaches
- Emotional intelligence and relationship management
- Communication
- Active listening
- Intercultural competency
- Conflict resolution
- Problem solving
- Decision making
- Performance management
- Empowerment and delegation
- Self-care
- Many more
An effective leader will hone and use dimensions and competencies above to foster trust, safety, motivation, engagement, creativity, accountability, and the continuous mobilization of effective actions among its people to advance the organization.
Insight offers a multitude of leadership assessment tools to evaluate a broad range of leadership dimensions, skills, and competencies. Being aware of one’s leadership strengths as well as areas for development is the first step towards enhancing one’s abilities to develop and lead healthy and productive teams. Proper leadership assessment would especially benefit:
- New and emerging leaders who want to better understand their areas of strength as well as their areas for development.
- Leaders who may require the development of new skills and competencies to better manage new responsibilities and/or increased complexity in their role.
- Leaders who simply want to build on their existing leadership knowledge and skills as part of their commitment to continuous professional development.
Insight’s Associates, comprised of proven organizational leaders, seasoned management development specialists, and mental health specialists also offer tailored leadership training, coaching, and support to help leaders advance their abilities, competencies, and personal effectiveness.
