Mental Health in the Workplace
Introducing wellness initiatives provides an opportunity for workplaces to improve productivity, reduce sick days and attract and retain talented staff.
Research has shown that an integrated workplace strategy that includes health promotion, wellbeing initiatives and support for workers achieves a positive return on investment.
Effective wellbeing strategies provide a framework for your workplace to promote emotional and physical wellbeing, reduce sick days, increase work satisfaction and engagement and/or support people experiencing mental health issues. Every workplace is unique, so your approach needs to be tailored to fit your workplace.
You will hear Dr Maria Boulton and Dr Fiona Raciti discuss some of the strategies they have implemented with some of their Corporate Doctors Plus Clients to improve emotional wellbeing in workplaces.

How to be sure your recruit is up to the job: the importance of pre-employment medicals
How do you ensure that your recruit is up to the job ahead? Pre-employment medical assessments are a workforce risk management tool used to screen individuals for risk factors that may limit their ability to perform a job safely and effectively.
According to SafeWork, work-related injury and disease cost the Australian economy a whopping $61.8 billion per year. Illnesses and workplace injuries can be very costly for employers, businesses, and taxpayers. It is much less expensive to invest in preventative measures. Especially when paired with ongoing employment health checks, pre-employment medicals can reduce workplace injuries, downtime, workers’ compensation claims, and insurance costs.
Pre-employment tests offer wide-ranging benefits that not only streamline the hiring process but also strengthen an entire organisation by increasing the likelihood that new employees will be successful in their positions. Pre-employment testing can help ensure alignment between the employee selection process and desired business outcomes such as lower turnover, increased sales, and higher customer satisfaction.[/vc_column_text][ultimate_spacer height=”20″ height_on_mob_landscape=”10″][vc_btn title=”Register to Watch” color=”warning” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.familydoctorsplus.com.au%2Fcorporate%2Fregister-how-to-be-sure-your-recruit-is-up-to-the-job%2F|title:Register%3A%20Mental%20Health%20in%20a%20Workplace||”][ultimate_spacer height=”40″ height_on_mob_landscape=”30″][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”5404″ img_size=”full”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]

Getting your previously injured workers back into their daily tasks
Injuries in the workplace cost the Australian economy more than $60 billion a year. The risk of hiring someone with a pre-existing condition that could lead to workers compensation claims is minimised through pre-employment medicals and on site assessments of your workplace. Statistically, non-screened employees have a 33% higher injury rate of compensation claims than screened employees. By employing workers with no unknown pre-existing medical illnesses, an organisation can effectively reduce the amount of working hours lost in a month by over 50%.
We have all heard the phrase “prevention is better than cure”. While there are effective “cures” for injury they are often extremely costly to the bottom line through a rise in insurance premiums. An injury prevention model is about swimming upstream and implementing programs that will pay significant cultural and financial dividends for years to come.[/vc_column_text][ultimate_spacer height=”20″ height_on_mob_landscape=”10″][vc_btn title=”Register to Watch” color=”warning” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.familydoctorsplus.com.au%2Fcorporate%2Fregister-getting-your-previously-injured-workers-back-into-their-daily-tasks%2F|title:Register%3A%20Mental%20Health%20in%20a%20Workplace||”][ultimate_spacer height=”40″ height_on_mob_landscape=”30″][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][ultimate_spacer height=”40″ height_on_mob_landscape=”10″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row bg_type=”bg_color” bg_override=”full” bg_color_value=”#075d7d”][vc_column][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row]
