George Vuicic Quoted in OHS Canada on Seasonal Affective Disorder
Hicks Morley’s George Vuicic is quoted in the December 14, 2016 OHS Canada article titled “Dark Days.” The article describes the adverse affect seasonal affective disorder (SAD) can have on employee well-being and productivity at work. For employees with structured work hours, shorter daylight hours during the winter means that there is less opportunity to be outdoors and exposed to the sun. The Mental Health Commission of Canada reports approximately 500,000 Canadians miss work on any given week, due to mental illness. George explains, “If you can reduce mental-health issues in the workplace everybody benefits.”
