EMP Onsite

Mental Health Programs

Identify psychosocial hazards and take practical action to build a mentally healthy workplace.

Supporting mental health in the workplace helps employees thrive while improving safety, productivity, and overall wellbeing.

Proactive workplace strategies are essential for protecting your people and meeting your legal obligations to manage psychosocial risk.

EMP Onsite partners with organisations to identify psychosocial risks and implement tailored interventions that strengthen workplace culture, reduce hazards, and support employee wellbeing.

Mental Health is Crucial for Workplace Safety

Mental health is a state of wellbeing in which individuals can realise their potential, cope with everyday stresses, and work productively.

Many factors influence mental health, including psychological, social, and biological determinants that can increase vulnerability to mental health challenges (WHO, 2022). Nearly half of Australians are expected to experience a mental health disorder in their lifetime, with psychological distress increasing over the past five years (AIHW, 2023).

Work Health and Safety Regulations

Employers must protect and promote mental health at work to meet legal obligations.

Work health and safety regulations across Australia now require employers to identify and manage psychosocial hazards. Common workplace hazards include low job control, unclear roles, poor work-life balance, ineffective change management, and occupational violence.

The Good News: Businesses Can Act

For every $1 invested in effective workplace mental health strategies, organisations see an average return of $2.30 (PwC, 2014). Mentally healthy workplaces benefit both employees and organisations.

Psychosocial risks not only affect individuals but also impose significant costs on Australian workplaces. Total costs from workplace-associated mental illness are estimated at $15.8 to $17.4 billion per year, driven by absenteeism, reduced labour force participation, employee turnover, lower productivity, and workers' compensation claims (Centre for FutureWork, 2021).
