Mental health week: Have you seen our mental hygiene program?

As Mental Health Week approaches, it's essential to shine a spotlight on the state of mental health in the workplace, particularly in Australia where the impact is profound. In recent years, mental health has increasingly become a focal point of discussions, with growing recognition of its significance in both personal and professional spheres.

According to recent statistics, mental health issues are prevalent in Australian workplaces, affecting individuals across all industries and sectors. In fact, approximately 1 in 5 Australian employees report experiencing mental health conditions, such as anxiety, depression, or stress-related disorders, each year.

The consequences of untreated mental health conditions can be severe, not only for the individual but also for the organization as a whole. Mental health issues in the workplace can lead to decreased productivity, increased absenteeism, higher turnover rates, and elevated healthcare costs. Additionally, they can contribute to a negative work culture, impacting morale and overall employee well-being.

Uncertainty breeds anxiety and during these turbulent times, businesses must remain agile and flexible to change.?

If you are a business owner in this industry, you are often required to carry a diverse range of responsibilities to maintain business viability.? In our industry, the compounded stress is often leading to mental health issues contributing to a reduction in productivity and inability to visualise strategies for sustainability and implement a plan for future growth.

Our research has confirmed that almost 42% of businesses we surveyed stated that because of the challenges in coping with their stress, business owners preferred to decrease staff numbers and downsize their business.

On the other hand, while others were managing well, they were concerned with the inconsistent standards of staff performance as mental and emotional pressures were impacting their capacity to meet their daily targets and responsibilities to the level of excellence that is expected of them.
