Our learning and development consultants in Sydney explain why mental health awareness important in the workplace
Mental illness in Australia has a large impact on a lot of Australian workers on a day-to-day basis. Did you know that a study from the ABS revealed that approximately one in five Australian’s aged from 18-65 will experience at least one common form of mental illness throughout any given year and 45% will experience a substance-use disorder in their lifetime? So our learning and development consultants in Sydney will explain why being aware of mental health in the workplace is essential.
Most people assume that mental health disorders appear outside of working hours, however one may develop this during working hours due to an unhealthy work environment. One of the key contributors of this is a stress-induced situation, so our employee development coaches in Sydney will run you through the key signs of mental health problems at work:
• Constant feelings of sadness and discouragement
• Not getting enough sleep
• Withdrawing yourself from work colleagues
• Decline in work performance
• Emotional outbursts
• Increase of physical problems
They are some of the key signs that all employees and employers should be on the look out for. Our leadership mentors in Sydney can help you lead your teams in the proper and efficient way.
