Workplace mental health

Practical insights to empower employers to better support workers

Our Personal Injury Division offers Workers' Compensation and services to aid worker recovery and meet the needs of Australian workplaces. However, not all injuries in the workplace are physical. 

 That’s why we prioritise employee wellbeing to create mentally healthy workplaces by working with businesses and mental health experts. This dedicated space helps employers and workers support mental health. 

Research

Each year, we carry out research into workplace mental health. We look at patterns and emerging trends and how these can inform Australian workplaces and inspire action.

Unpacking the new workforce

Oranisations are encountering new challenges in addressing diverse employee needs. Allianz Workers Compensation data shows psychological claims have nearly doubled since 2019. Our research explores workplace diversity and highlights a lack of empathy in Australian workplaces. We aim to inspire organisations to better support their employees' unique experience.

The workplace realignment

Our research shows that as Australia recovers from the pandemic, employee expectations are changing. Diverse generational dynamics, along with economic and environmental factors, are complicating workplace mental health strategies. We urge organisations to understand the needs of a multigenerational workforce and offer tailored solutions.

Navigating conversations in the modern workplace

Our research looked at how to have important conversations in the modern workplace and found that many Australian employees and employers are uncomfortable navigating these discussions in the workplace. While they can be challenging, these conversations are an opportunity to build trust and help support a mentally healthy workplace.

Whether you are a manager or an employee, we encourage you to explore our toolkits to help with having important conversations in your workplace.
