More than a decade ago, the introduction and focus on Health, Environmental, Social and Governance standards within workplaces started to make an impact. Today, companies do not shy away from reporting on these strategies and their impact on the business, communities and people they serve. It is time to add Health to this movement. Explore the current challenges which impact your workforce and which ones you can change with a proper, evidence-based approach to employee health and wellbeing.

Our co-founder Dr Patrick Aouad joined a litany of business leaders to share his thoughts on whether better remuneration is truly the answer to retaining employees in this ‘Let’s Talk’ with Dynamic Business.

In the rapidly evolving business world, companies are faced with various challenges when it comes to their workforce. One of the most pressing issues is attracting and retaining top talent.

As an entrepreneur or business owner, it can feel like you’re constantly walking a tightrope, trying to balance the demands of running a successful business with the responsibilities of raising a family.

Psychosocial hazards are more buzzwords that have been floating around workplaces lately. But what do they mean, and how can you minimise the risks they pose?

Mental health is a key component of a person’s overall health and wellbeing and has a significant impact on cognitive, social and emotional ability. So it’s no surprise that the decision made by the Albanese government to drop back the number of Medicare-funded psychology visits from 20 to 10 has alarmed mental health experts and advocates.

The Committee for Economic Development of Australia (CEDA) released Mental Health and the Workplace: How can employers improve productivity through wellbeing? The report says that mental health costs the Australian economy $70 billion each year.

Positive mental health should be a key consideration for leaders as it can help to get the most out of their employees.

GUEST OPINION: As the Australian healthcare crisis rises to become a key agenda item for the new Prime Minister, outside of the physical constraints of the system, it’s the perfect opportunity to observe and leverage the solutions that digital or virtual healthcare can offer.

Dr Patrick Aouad is the Co-founder and CEO of CU Health, a virtual medical practice for businesses. Pat is focused on bringing evidence-based approaches supported by appropriate innovation to support trusted, compassionate and excellent healthcare.

At CU Health our mission is to put accessible healthcare in the hands of employees, giving them the power to address problems before they arise.

Aussie healthcare-at-work startup CU Health has raised $3 million for its tech helping employers take care of their workers.

Two healthcare co-founders have launched a virtual medical practice for employees that features access to GPs, psychologists, dietitians and health coaches, accessible from the home or office.

Longer hours and relentless workloads are among reasons that are contributing to a decline in GPs in Australia, but virtual healthcare can help confront these issues.

First came the global pandemic, then the ‘Great Resignation’, and now it’s the ‘Great Regret’, as one in five employees realises the grass is not greener on the other side.

Primary healthcare is in the worst shape ever, with GP shortages, the pandemic effects and bulk billing issues being central to the problem, and it’s likely to get worse on the ground before it gets better.
