It's no secret that our incredible healthcare workers are under immense pressure. Rising incidents of workplace stress and violence are unfortunately driving away too many dedicated professionals—with nearly 75% of all workplace violence occurring in healthcare settings, it's a massive challenge we have to solve. But there’s a new wave of hope!
The Canadian Occupational Safety Magazine, featuring insights from Canopy's VP of Growth, Jason Fass, shines a spotlight on how connected safety technology is flipping the script. Imagine giving staff a simple, discreet tool—a wearable badge—that lets them instantly call for help and pinpoints their exact location. This isn't just about security; it’s about making sure help arrives quickly for early intervention, turning potentially difficult moments into safely de-escalated situations.
The connected safety technology is cultivating a more supportive and hopeful workplace culture. Hospitals using Canopy are seeing a genuine difference—staff are reporting they feel safer and more profoundly valued, viewing it as concrete proof that leadership truly cares. Beyond quick response, the platform provides smart data to help leaders be more proactive, ensuring resources go where they’re needed most. The message for health and safety leaders is wonderfully encouraging: while technology won't replace great training, it's a powerful tool that amplifies existing efforts, strengthens team bonds, and ultimately helps protect and retain the amazing people who care for our communities.
