At Bodycare Workplace Solutions, proactive workplace injury prevention is our business. We have seen firsthand how poor physical condition can impact our minds. We also know the reverse to be true. We are passionate about the connection between a healthy body and a healthy mind and aim to provide our partners with proactive tools to ensure their workforce remains safe, fit and healthy…in every aspect.

It is estimated that at any point in time, one in five working age people will be suffering from a mental health condition and 45 per cent of Australians will experience a mental health or substance-use disorder in their lifetime.

It is also estimated that Mental Health costs Australian businesses $11 billion per year. Given these alarming statistics, this is an issue that workplaces (and society) can no longer afford to ignore.

The good news is that a recent study conducted by PWC estimates that every dollar spent on creating a Mentally Healthy Workplace, will create a return on investment of $2.30. Not to mention the positive impact these initiatives will have on individuals, employee engagement and workplace culture.

Mental illness affects each person differently and can significantly impact the individual, their family, friends and work colleagues. Supporting mental health issues in the workplace and creating mentally healthy workplaces can be achieved in a number of different ways. Some of our programs are listed below, but just like we are all different, so are organisations and we know that one size does not fit all.

A tailored workplace mental health program may be best for your organisation. At Bodycare, we can deliver seminars that are customised to address a specific mental health issue that is relevant to your workforce. We also offer comprehensive programs to raise awareness about mental wellbeing and specialised programs focused on pro­viding individuals with the tools to thrive and flourish at work.

Whatever your needs, using our team of experts in this field, we can create a program to ensure you are being proactive about the mental health of your workforce.
