Over 1,400 Voices Speak Out..

Imagine This!

4 out of every 10 employees in your workplace are experiencing a psychosocial incident right now.

Even More Alarming?

Nearly 75% of them won’t report it directly to a Supervisor, Safety Leader, HR Manager or Business Owner.

How Does workWATCH Know This?

We know this because not only have we spent many years managing psychosocial related cases & undertaking psychosocial safety consulting. We also recently carried out a survey where 1,428 active job seekers were brave enough to speak up!

At the recent Melbourne Careers Expo 2025, workWATCH commissioned a Workplace Psychosocial Hazard Survey where 1,428 job seekers participated. After an introduction to what is a psychosocial hazard & providing some real-life examples, participants shared honest insights through a brief questionnaire.

Results - Top 5 Reasons Why These Employees Prefer to Stay Silent:
1. Fear of Manager Retaliation
2. Belief That Nothing Will Change
3. Fear of Losing Their Job
4. Peer Pressure to Avoid Being a ‘Whistleblower’
5. Desire to Avoid Conflict

The Hidden Costs of Ignoring Psychosocial Safety:

  • Skyrocketing turnover rates as employees leave toxic environments.

  • Lost productivity from disengaged, stressed, or burned-out staff.

  • Increased absenteeism and rising workplace mental injury claims.

  • Damaged reputation, making it harder to attract the best marketplace talent.

  • Legal risks and penalties for failing to meet your workplace health & safety obligations.

It’s time to act. Empower your Safety and HR teams to tackle this head-on.

Contact workWATCH today and help your leaders to learn how to foster a culture of trust & manage psychosocial safety.
