Workplace Wellbeing 2025: Lead, Protect, Thrive

Effective Strategies to Enhance Employee Wellbeing

Why This Matters

With 1 in 3 employees and executives consistently facing fatigue and poor mental health, the need for workplace wellbeing has never been more critical (Deloitte Wellbeing Survey). 

The cost of poor mental health to the Australian economy ranges from $12.2 to $22.5 billion annually (Australian Government Productivity Commission).

Additionally, 35% of employees have taken time off work in the last year due to mental health concerns (Sonder) and according to the 2025 State of Workplace Burnout Report, burnout rates in Australia have jumped a massive 17% since the previous year. 

Join us to gain insights and tools to address these pressing and concerning leadership issues.
