NEW: Spotlight on Gender Identity and Mental Health
Did the pandemic-related changes to Australian workplaces have different mental health and wellbeing impacts on different genders? We explored insights from more than 10,000 Australians to find out. Spoiler alert: women’s personal wellbeing declined significantly more than men’s during 2020, with many even considering career changes as a result.
Key findings from this year’s National Report include:
- Three in five workers (59.5%) experienced a mental health condition this year
- Mental health concerns were the most common reason for lower productivity, but some workers found 2020s big changes made them more productive
- At a national level, more than half of workers (55.1%) report that no action is being taken in their workplace to address mental health
- Surprisingly, COVID-19 has resulted in a better work-life balance for nearly half of Australia’s workforce (48.5%)
- Australian workers are feeling more connected than ever before
- Casual workers are the furthest from thriving, and the gap has widened.
