Overview
The impact of psychological injury in the workplace is concerning. Research shows that 1 in 5 Australian workers take personal leave due to mental health illness (Beyond Blue, 2014), significantly affecting the bottom line of your workplace. The recovery time for employees with a mental health injury is significantly longer at 30.7 working weeks compared to 6.7 weeks for physical injuries (Safe Work Australia, 2022). The economic cost of mental illness in Australia is estimated at $10 to $18 billion in lost productivity (Productivity Commission, 2020).
Leaders can reduce these losses by developing the skills to recognise early signs of mental health challenges and provide effective support. Doing so fosters a healthier, more engaged workplace, improving job satisfaction, retention, and overall team wellbeing. Supportive Steps equips leaders with practical strategies to create a culture where employees feel seen, supported, and able to thrive.
