Australian workers are stressed: study

THERE are millions of stressed workers in Australia and half of them feel uncomfortable talking about mental health with their bosses.

New research by The Australia Institute, to be launched on Wednesday, showing work hours and workplace culture, is causing an epidemic of workplace-related stress and anxiety affecting around three million employees.

The study found one in two workers were uncomfortable discussing mental health with their manager and many believed their bosses lacked skills to discuss sensitive workplace issues.

The Australia Institute's executive director Richard Denniss said people working for small businesses were almost twice as likely as colleagues in bigger organisations to report a "very good" workplace culture.

They were also twice as likely to report their manager's skills in talking about mental health problems were very good compared with those working for larger employers.

Ms Carnell said every Australian workplace manager should view the e-learning programs on the beyondblue website or book a face-to-face training session to improve how they dealt with depression and anxiety among employees.

ACTU President Ged Kearney and beyondblue chief Kate Carnell will discuss the issue of improving productivity through healthier workplaces at the National Press Club launch.
