A recent poll commissioned by Lifeline Australia showed that 87% of Australian workers were stressed. The major causes of stress were work (73%) and money (66%). However, health was also a prominent cause of stress.

Stress can also have numerous impacts on ones health, and 40% of respondents reported ‘unhealthy’ levels of stress. So workers are stressing about their health, which in turn leads to poorer health.

The ability to assist staff to improve their health can not only improve staff health, but lead to greater productivity and reduced absenteeism.

So it is a smart idea to have a corporate health program, as you can assist your staff to reduce their stress levels by improving their health!
