Working from home without access to the departmental network?

Have no fear, eLearning@ESDC is here!

A variety of eLearning options are available to help you take care of your mental health and well-being in these challeging times.

NEW learning recommendations every week!

eLearning@ESDC

In a time of rapid and unpredictable change, you can count on your weekly eLearning@ESDC weekly newsletter to connect you with meaningful and relevant learning options.

Navigating an entirely new way of working - even if it is only temporary - and adapting to abrupt changes can be a challenging and maybe even stressful situation. To help support ESDC employees through this difficult time, this week’s edition of eLearning@ESDC highlights Mental Health and Workplace Well-Being.

While we strive to continue to serve Canadians as best we can, it is important to take time to take care of ourselves, too. It’s okay to not feel okay - we are all in this together! Have a discussion with your manager and take a look at the recommended eLearning activities below.
