Comments from senior vice-president and managing director, Australia and Asia-Pacific, Jamie MacLennan
Australians are experiencing a concerning level of emotional uncertainty as the pandemic persists, and increased stress at work is adding an additional layer of turmoil for employees to navigate during an already difficult time. Given that work is a significant part of life, it is key employers do their part to create a positive culture where employees feel supported across the full wellbeing spectrum. Employees who feel supported, do better.
Many Australians have not been asked by their employer about working preferences, contributing to poorer mental health:
Comments from global leader and senior vice president, research and total wellbeing, Paula Allen
Business success is dependant on employees that are driven and motivated, and this is simply not possible if they do not feel appreciated, supported, or valued by their employer. Each employees needs are unique, which is why an approach to wellbeing that offers a diverse range of servcies will have the greatest positive impact. In day-to-day work life we have always known how important it is to ask employees for their input and to understand their needs, and in rapidly changing and stressful times, this is even more critical.
