Occupational Health and Safety-Stress and Workaholism at Work

Posted by pahpoh 1:02 AM, under ,,,, | No comments

There has been a lot of hullabalorecently about the problems facing Australia in retaining talented workers and the subsequent pressure placed on those remaining behind in the workplace.

The incidence in stress claims is rising and is having an impact on the economy and enterprises in general.
The incidences of people whwork 'day in day out' whin many ways are closet workaholics is increasing.We are told that 1 in 5 Australians are suffering from some sort of mental illness and that 1 in 7 teenager's at high-school suffer from depression. This comes from proven research but my guess is that it is probably higher, after all these subjects are still quite taboin our society.
