After a long winter, spring has finally arrived, and with it comes the perfect opportunity for a workplace reset.

The colder months can take a toll on both physical health and mental wellbeing. Many workplaces experience higher absenteeism, lower energy, and the challenge of managing seasonal illness.

Now that we’ve made it through, spring offers the chance to

- Re-energise teams with a renewed focus on wellbeing
- Reset workplace habits for healthier, more productive days
- Build resilience to carry positivity and productivity throughout the rest of the year

At Work OH&S is here to help organisations step into this season with tailored strategies to support both physical and psychological wellbeing. Because when your people thrive, your workplace thrives too.

This year, R U OK? Day is today - but asking “Are you OK?” shouldn’t be reserved for just one day.

The theme, “Ask R U OK? Any Day,” reminds us that a meaningful check-in can happen all year round. It’s about fostering empathy and connection so that small concerns don’t grow into bigger ones.

At Work OH&S believes in creating a culture where mental wellbeing is front of mind every single day. When we reach out with compassion - whether it's to friends, family, or colleagues - we’re building a more supportive environment for everyone.

Let’s make "Are you OK?" part of everyday conversation - not just an annual moment.

If you’d like support in building a culture of care and wellbeing either in your workplace or in your personal life, reach out - we’re here to help - https://hubs.ly/Q03GQM0s0

Today is World Su***de Prevention Day - a time to raise awareness, extend support to those experiencing mental health challenges, and honour the lives lost to su***de, while recognising the profound impact on families, friends, and communities left behind.

Su***de remains one of the leading causes of death in Australia, but there is hope.

Progress in understanding mental health, combined with new approaches and stronger support networks, gives us more tools than ever to prevent su***de and protect wellbeing.

At At Work OH&S, we’re committed to being part of that change - working alongside individuals, workplaces, and communities to create safe spaces, provide early intervention, and build pathways toward recovery. If you or your organisation is seeking support, please reach out here: https://ap1.hubs.ly/y0d-t00

Together, we can reduce stigma, strengthen connection, and remind each other: help is always within reach. Let’s remember: a kind word, a listening ear, or a safe space can truly make a difference.

Workplace Bullying Isn’t “Just Part of the Job”, and it’s a risk every organisation needs to take seriously.

Repeated, unreasonable behaviour - verbal abuse, intimidation, exclusion - can cause stress, anxiety, depression, and lower productivity. It also erodes workplace culture, morale, and staff retention.

Employers have a positive duty to prevent bullying and harassment. That means you need to show the actions you’ve taken to minimise or remove the risk of harm. Simply saying “we haven’t had any complaints” isn’t enough.

Training and education are essential. They help employees understand what bullying and harassment is and know how to respond if they witness it. Australian WHS laws require organisations to actively manage risks through:

- Clear policies on bullying and harassment
- Training and education programs
- Reporting and support processes

At Work OH&S can help your organisation assess risks, implement policies, and deliver tailored training programs to create a safer, healthier workplace. To find out how we can help, visit: https://hubs.ly/Q03DNb5m0

Did you know that 1 in 5 employees experience mental ill-health each year? How workplaces respond can make all the difference.

At At Work OH&S, we believe that recognising when to act and understanding everyone’s role in supporting mental health is essential for building a thriving, resilient workplace.

Spotting mental health challenges and knowing who should take action and when lays the foundation for a truly healthy, high-performing workplace. Black Dog Institute identifies three pillars of mentally healthy workplaces including -

1. Protecting against harm – identify and minimise risks, support staff through change, and provide leadership training so managers can recognise and respond early.
2. Promoting good health – build a culture of psychological safety, resilience, and social support to boost engagement and well-being.
3. Responding to ill health – act swiftly with recovery-focused policies, EAP access, return-to-work planning, and flexible adjustments.

Our leadership training empowers managers and executives to confidently support mental health and build resilient, high-performing teams.

Multitasking is often seen as a productivity booster, but Australian research shows it can actually reduce efficiency and increase cognitive strain (Griffith University, 2023). A 2022 study from the University of Western Australia found that the way we multitask in daily life can strongly influence both how well we perform tasks and our overall mental wellbeing

To improve focus and productivity, try monotasking - slowing down and focusing on one task at a time. Structuring your day this way reduces cognitive overload and helps you get more done. Other helpful techniques for breaking the multitasking habit are outlined below (Source: Benjamin B. Bargetzi)

At Work OH&S delivers Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs) that strengthen both individual wellbeing and organisational performance. We believe that when you take care of your people, they take care of your business.

For Employers - An effective EAP is an investment in productivity, engagement, and retention. It helps reduce absenteeism, build resilience, and foster a positive workplace culture.

For Employees - Confidential, professional support for personal or work-related challenges, whether it’s managing stress, improving mental health, or navigating change.

Our EAP services are tailored to each organisation and delivered by experienced health professionals, ensuring the right support at the right time.

Recent Australian research, including insights from Comcare, highlights key factors affecting young workers' mental health - especially during the return-to-work process.

Key success factors include:
• Clear planning and support
• Alignment between job demands and capability
• Co-ordination between employers and support agencies

Another study found that while memes are a common form of connection among Gen Z, they may also contribute to mental health strain, particularly in young male workers.

These findings highlight the need for early intervention and tailored workplace support. At At Work OH&S, we help employers build mentally healthy workplaces for every generation.

Many Australians drive for work every day, whether it's in a company car, delivery van, or their own vehicle. What’s often overlooked is that under work health and safety laws, that vehicle is considered a workplace. And according to [Comcare’s July 2025 Workplace Research Monthly], work-related driving remains one of the leading causes of injury and death.

Employers have a duty to manage these risks, just as they would in a traditional work environment. That includes:

- Choosing safer vehicles
- Managing fatigue and distractions
- Implementing clear policies for driving-related tasks
- Offering training and support to all workers behind the wheel

Have you been injured while driving for work? Returning to work after a vehicle-related injury can be daunting but support is available.

At Work OH&S works with employers and employees to deliver evidence-based return to work programs, tailored to each individual’s needs. Whether your recovery is physical, psychological, or both, At Work OH&S provides early intervention, workplace adjustments, and ongoing support to help you return safely and confidently.

Your vehicle might be your workplace, but your wellbeing is always the priority. Contact us to learn how we can support you - https://hubs.ly/Q03Btgn20

A new report from "Comcare’s Workplace Research Monthly (July 2025)" shines a spotlight on the ongoing mental health pressures in the construction industry, including job insecurity, long hours, high demands, poor work‑life balance, limited control, and workplace bullying. These factors continue to drive psychological harm on worksites nationwide.

It’s clear - mental health hazards in construction aren’t just real, they demand serious attention.

What should Employers do? Build workplaces that support your people: reduce stressors, boost job control and security, and make mental health a priority.

We specialise in translating research into action. From tailored psychosocial risk assessments to on-site support programs, we empower employers to create safer, mentally healthy construction sites.

Reach out to see how we can work together to -

- Recognise psychological hazards as “real” workplace risks
- Provide regular mental health screenings and professional support
- Strengthen systems that promote job satisfaction, control, and resilience
- Drive down site stress, increase safety, and uplift wellbeing with a proactive plan
