Are you happy at work? And if so, do you think that helps you do the job better? Jan-Emmanuel de Neve, Professor of Economics and Behavioural Science at the University of Oxford's Saïd Business School thinks so - and says he has the real-world evidence - from companies and millions of employees to prove it. He also says there is evidence that companies with a happy workforce will perform better for shareholders. And he answers the question - does that mean working from home is best, or should we all go back to the office?

This episode marks the first in a new Ashurst series on Employment and Safety law developments in Australia. After collaborating on a landmark psychosocial risk court case, Ashurst partner Scarlet Reid and State Chambers barrister Bruce Hodgkinson AM SC reflect on what employers might learn. Along the way, Scarlet and Bruce discusses the threshold for psychosocial harm and whether stress meets that test, the complexities of what constitutes “reasonable management action” and the importance of regularly updating employer policies. They also emphasise the value of training and instruction for line managers so that they can handle sensitive discussions in a way that is legally compliant, psychologically safe, and appropriate. “There’s so much learning to come in this area,” Scarlet adds. “Guidance from courts will be very important as this area of the law continues to develop.” To listen to this and subscribe to future episodes in this series search for “Ashurst Legal Outlook” on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or your favourite podcast player.

A concerning trend has emerged in Irish workplaces: one in five workers are struggling with illegal substance use, according to the latest laya healthcare Workplace Wellbeing Index. Launched today at Croke Park, Dublin, this comprehensive annual report, now in its fifth year, provides crucial insights into the evolving landscape of employee wellbeing in Ireland. Business leaders are invited to attend a free virtual summit on November 12th, featuring expert speakers Dr. Sumi Dunne, Brian Pennie, and Brendan Courtney, to delve deeper into these critical issues. The 2024 Index reveals that 16% of employees are addicted to or have an unhealthy relationship with Class A or illicit drugs. Overall, two in five Irish workers report addiction to or an unhealthy relationship with at least one substance, with nicotine (29%) and alcohol (21%) being the most prevalent. The data shows that men, those aged 24 and under, and those with a disability or health condition are more likely to struggle with addiction. Concerningly, senior managers are also more likely to report unhealthy relationships with substances compared to those in more junior roles. Beyond substance use, the Index highlights the growing prevalence of other addictions impacting the workplace. Almost a third of workers (33%) admit to an unhealthy relationship with social media, while 30% report the same about work itself. One in five respondents identify similar struggles with pornography or sex, mirroring the figure (19%) for gambling addiction. Sinéad Proos, Head of Health & Wellbeing at Laya Healthcare, commented on the findings: "Employers should recognise addiction as a serious issue impacting Irish workplaces, encompassing substance use, gambling, and social media. While these results are concerning, they also present a valuable opportunity for employers to prioritise employee wellbeing. By fostering a supportive culture and providing access to resources like counselling and employee assistance programs, we can support and empower employees to make the first steps towards improving their health and wellbeing." Health Conditions, Disabilities, and Disclosure in the Workplace The Index also sheds light on the prevalence of health conditions and disabilities among Irish workers. A significant one in two employees report living with an underlying health condition or mental wellbeing issue. Anxiety and depression are the most commonly cited conditions, with one in ten Irish employees having a diagnosis of depression. Concerningly, the data reveals a disconnect between employees and their organizations regarding these issues. 54% of those with a health condition or disability admit they would be embarrassed to speak to their employer about it, while one in two with a mental health condition fear being treated differently if they disclose it to their employer. Furthermore, nearly half of all employees (48%) are unaware of the support resources available to them. The Index highlights the disparity in diagnosis rates between physical and mental health conditions. People with physical conditions are more likely to have a formal diagnosis than those with mental health or communication difficulties. For example, while most people with a visual or hearing impairment have been diagnosed, the rates are significantly lower for anxiety and speech and language problems. Sinéad Proos emphasized the need for improved communication: "Employers and employees need to communicate more openly about health conditions and disabilities. Not having a diagnosis or feeling unable to discuss needed support can cause unnecessary stress and hardship for team members. It's crucial that organisations prioritise clear communication about health and wellbeing resources, making them easily accessible so employees can get the support they deserve." Neurodiversity in the Workplace The Index also explored the topic of neurodiversity, with 15% of employees reporting that they live with a neurodiverse condition....

Did you know that 57% of employees globally aren't satisfied with their jobs, and 59% report feeling stressed most of the time?

Terrible twos, temper tantrums, and grocery store meltdowns are usually the first things that come to mind when people think of toddlers. But pediatric emergency medicine physician and researcher Dr. Hasan Merali has long thought toddlers are among the best people in our society and adults could do well to learn from them. These extraordinary youngsters can be impulsive, yes, but with this comes a remarkable ability to take risks and ask questions—two qualities that can help us enjoy life more. Toddlers act kindly toward strangers, are eager to work with others to solve problems, and demonstrate extraordinary dedication and perseverance. These are all traits that many of us aspire to have. In his new book, Sleep Well, Take Risks, Squish the Peas, Dr. Merali shows us the many ways in which acting like a toddler can help us improve both our personal and professional lives.Hasan Merali, MD, MPH, is an associate professor in the Department of Pediatrics, McMaster University and a pediatric emergency medicine physician at McMaster Children's Hospital in Hamilton, Ontario. He received his medical degree from Harvard Medical School and Master of Public Health degree from Johns Hopkins University. His research focuses on child injury prevention in low- and middle-income countries. He has published more than twenty-five peer-reviewed journal articles, and his work has been featured in The New York Times, BBC, Science, Medium, The Boston Globe, NBC, CBC, and Popular Science.To learn more, visit:https://caffestrategies.com/To learn more about Hasan, visit:https://hasanmerali.com/,https://www.linkedin.com/in/hasan-merali/,https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/15/well/live/tips-happiness-mental-health-well-being.html,https://www.greatplacetowork.com/resources/blog/5-workplace-well-being-lessons-from-toddlers,https://medium.com/authority-magazine/author-hasan-meral-five-things-business-leaders-can-do-to-create-a-fantastic-work-culture-784ba24b415eListen to more episodes on Mission Matters:https://missionmatters.com/author/genein-letford/
