Addressing psychosocial risks to support return to good work

Psychosocial risks

Returning to and recovering at work is an important part of rehabilitation following a psychological injury. It helps with recovery, prevents relapse, and provides individuals with appropriate social connections and support mechanisms. However, when an employee returns to work, following a psychological injury, working environments must be safe and free from psychological harm to prevent further risk to their mental health and wellbeing.

Experiencing a mental health setback in the workplace can be challenging to navigate. Research shows that those people who go a long time between developing poor mental health and receiving appropriate treatment and support have reduced recovery and return to work outcomes compared to those who access early intervention support. When left untreated, these mental health challenges can lead to other mental health illnesses, impair recovery outcomes and reduce an employee’s capacity to remain in the workplace.

In a recent survey conducted by Allianz, 43 per cent of respondents indicated that their organisations have not introduced new mental health initiatives since the start of the pandemic. This coupled the with 69 per cent of Australian employees surveyed having not had a conversation with their employer about their mental health since the start of the pandemic, is it any wonder that psychological injury claims have increased by 5 per cent over the last year?

If you are feeling anxious, fatigued or just generally upset as you retreat into lockdown, don’t be too hard on yourself, this is completely understandable.
