Stress is the major non-physical problem that ripples out to create others. Stress leads to Anxiety, which can lead to Depression. Untreated depression costs Australian business on average $9,665 per person per year. This mounting evidence that non-physical injuries are costing businesses more than anticipated can no longer be ignored. Organisations often do not understand the impact that stress has on their people, and their bottom line productivity.

Organisations have concentrated on the back end of injuries and not enough time on the front end (prevention). Eye injuries, back injuries, manual handling, have generally been the focus, however the issue of non physical injuries has not been concentrated upon. For instance Depression does not remain in the car park whilst the employee attends work; today many employees both male and female are attending work whilst suffering from Depression. It is not uncommon for individuals to turn various forms of medication often leading to abuse of alcohol and other substances of dependence. Many employees are just getting through the day. We witness many examples of Rage, (Car rage, Phone rage, Supermarket rage) all just “One Degree Below Boiling”.

With this in mind we need to revolutionise the manner in which we consider the Health and Welfare of employees. Businesses that understand the direct impact of their peoples’ wellbeing on their bottom line productivity and profit will see long-lasting benefits and a workforce who will be inspired to work more creatively and productively because they know that they are being cared for.

Show the people in your business that you care about their Wellbeing, and you will inspire Loyalty, Unity and Creativity = Productivity.
