Support your colleagues in creating the life they choose - no matter where they are.

Sometimes, measuring performance is important. Other times, performance is more important than measuring.

Work-life balance is critical in a healthy lifestyle – a fact that came to the fore during the global pandemic.

When the lines between work and private life begin to blur – be that from enforced requirements to work from home, or simply because certain employees find it hard to ‘switch off’ – the psychological literature is clear: colleague wellbeing and productivity suffers.

Story of My Life Journal – a purely evidence-based resource – is designed to support people in creating the life they choose at a holistic level.

Including (and especially, given it occupies most of a fulltime worker’s life) in the workplace.

We offer organisations significant discounts and ongoing virtual and in-person activities (such as mentoring and workshops) to support you in ensuring your colleagues are WELL@WORK and are getting the most out of their lives – no matter where they are.

Because wellbeing is always a work-in-progress.

Why mental health matters (especially in the workplace)

Did you know half (45%) of all Australians – that is: your workforce – will experience mental ill health at some point? And that’s according to Beyond Blue – a very respected source.

A recent study found that, at any given time, about 20 per cent of the population will be experiencing a mental health challenge (source).

The impact of that is direct (sick pay; benefits; social security; medical treatments) and indirect (loss of productivity and potential output; low morale).

The financial costs (including to companies) are scary.

The US estimates for national spending on depression range from $USD 30-44b (that’s BILLION!), with about 200 million days lost from work each year. The UK’s Health and Safety Executive estimates mental health problems are the second largest category of occupational ill health after muscular-skeletal disorders, resulting in 5-6 million (MILLION!) working days lost each year.

About 90 per cent of employees think mental health is an important issue for businesses ...

Every dollar spent creating a mentally healthy workplace can, on average, result in a positive return on investment of $2.30.
