Poor MENTAL HEALTH COSTS AUSTRALIAN BUSINESSES OVER $10.9 billion each
year* and the World HEALTH ORGANISATION PREDICTS THAT DEPRESSION WILL
BE THE GREATEST PUBLIC HEALTH BURDEN BY 2030.Pleasingly, Price
Waterhouse Coopers found that workplaces who take a proactive and
preventative approach are best able to minimise the potential
challenges and costs associated with the poor mental health culture,
practices and injuries; they further report that every dollar spent on
proactively addressing mental health in the workplace has been shown
to equate to a direct return on investment of 230%.
Businesses that build meaningful health and wellbeing strategies which
empower their leaders and team members to take responsibility and
accountability in working towards a common wellbeing aim,
significantly increase productivity, enhance workplace culture, and
minimise the risk of workplace injuries and the associated costs.
