Concerns about mental health issues at work are increasing worldwide. It is argued on a global front that the loss of productivity is one worry; however the looming human and financial costs associated with disability that extend to the individual, family,  rganization and society (e.g., Harnois & Gabriel, 2000). In Canada, the direct and indirect costs of stress-related problems at work were estimated to have totaled 14.4 billion in 1998 (Stephens & Joubert, 2001). Another study estimates that absenteeism due to stress due to work-home conflict costs Canadian employers 3.5 billion dollars annually (Duxbury & Higgins, 2001). In a second report published by the Public Health Agency of Canada, the authors estimated the costs to have risen to a new total between 6 and 10 billion (Duxbury & Higgins, 2003). In fact, any cursory review of the literature turns up staggering statistics that mostly suggest workplace stress is a significant societal issue.
