CEOs + Senior Managers - Why Stress Management is Your Superpower

Unlocking Productivity, Performance and Profitability through Employee Wellbeing

In today’s fast-paced, high-pressure business environment, employee stress and burnout, are not just wellness issues, but risks to your organisation’s performance, productivity, and profitability.

In fact, according to recent research, daily work stress affects almost 50% of Australian employees, while workplace burnout (long-term stress), is increasing absenteeism, staff turnover, psychological workplace injury and employee disengagement - costing, both your business, and the Australian economy an estimated $14 billion annually.

To address this, in October 2022, Safework NSW introduced the 'Work Health & Safety Amendment Regulation 2022', making supporting employees’ psycho-social well-being and mental health, a legal requirement for NSW businesses. This change was introduced, not only to support employees from burnout, but also to protect businesses, like yours, from major financial and operational consequences.

It’s a huge change, and the best leaders aren’t just reacting - they’re getting ahead.

They are taking a proactive approach to employee burnout by integrating stress management programs into their workplace. Not as a ‘check-box ticking’ exercise, but as something that is imbedded into their organisation’s culture - its become something that they take seriously.

Supporting your staff with stress management initiatives, isn’t just a ‘nice-to-have’ or just a ‘legal requirement’—it’s a business priority. Research by PwC shows that for every dollar invested in mental health initiatives, organisations can expect an ROI of at least 2.3. That’s a smart business decision with a positive human impact.

Imagine what your business could achieve if your staff was more focused, resilient, healthy, and energised. Making employee stress management a strategic priority, isn't just a matter of doing the right thing—it's a powerful opportunity to create a competitive advantage.

As a CEO or senior manager, you understand the value of high-performing and engaged employees, so now it’s time to invest in what drives them—their mental, emotional and physical health. Your employees are your greatest asset, your currency - their wellbeing is directly linked to your bottom line, so prioritising and supporting them isn't just ethical—it's essential for your organisation’s sustainable growth. Without your staff, you have no business.

Don’t wait for stress to affect your staff and impact your business - utilise stress management as your superpower. It’s a win-win situation for both your employees and your business.

Let’s future-proof your people, your business —and your performance.
