There is stress in the Australian workplace. I was recently interviewed as part of a Herald Sun piece titled ‘Alarming trend: How Aussie workers are silently struggling revealed.’

Here is a brief excerpt:

Australians are “quietly cracking’’ at work, as cost-of-living stress and other pressures continue to take their toll.

Experts warn the alarming trend, whereby Aussies put on a brave face at work to mask their struggles, is a ticking time bomb, with those affected six times more likely to suffer burnout.

Research reveals more than half the Australian workforce is quietly cracking, mostly due to stress related to housing costs and rising bills.
