A recent COS study of over 1,000 Australian workers revealed a strong reluctance to start a business with family. The primary reason, cited by 50% of respondents, is the belief that mixing business and family can lead to complications. Notably, men are more open to the idea, with 41% expressing interest, while only 25% of women feel the same. Hear from our Co-CEO, Belinda Lyone, as she shares insights on the unique experience of being part of a family-owned and operated business, along with valuable strategies for those considering working with family members. #FamilyBusiness #FamilyOwned #AustralianOwned https://hubs.ly/Q02RMQTJ0

This year’s World Mental Health Day theme, 'It is Time to Prioritise Mental Health in the Workplace,' highlights the importance of promoting mental wellbeing at work for the benefit of individuals, organisations, and communities. According to the ABS National Study of Mental Health and Wellbeing, 42.9% of Australians have experienced a mental health condition at some point. Safe Work Australia reports that in 2022–23, mental health conditions made up 1 in 10 serious workers' compensation claims, up from 6.4% in 2012–13 to 10.5% in 2022–23. Psychological injuries, often linked to work-related stress and burnout, can have significant impacts, with a median time loss of 37 working weeks. It's crucial for employers and employees to recognise these issues and foster a healthier, more supportive workplace. Check out our COSpedia article for tips on managing psychological injuries at work. #SafeWorkMonth #MentalHealth #Wellbeing #PsychologicalInjury https://hubs.ly/Q02Rsj5t0

According to Safe Work Australia, over the past decade, more than 1,880 traumatic injury fatalities have occurred in Australian workplaces, with a current injury rate of 3.5%. These statistics highlight the crucial role of personal protective equipment (PPE) in keeping workers safe.
