Finding the right job used to depend on a person’s skills, motivations, and a cultural fit with an organisation. But now there is an even more crucial factor to consider; without it, one’s mental health and wellbeing could be at risk. It is now recognised that a workplace that is not psychologically healthy can have lasting effects on a worker’s sanity and ability to bounce back after adversity. The results of neglecting staff psychological health and wellbeing are equally striking. According to the Australian Psychological Society, stress-related compensation claims have doubled in recent years, costing over $10 billion each year.
