People leaders, HR, wellbeing professionals… scroll this one. Especially the second last slide 👀

SuperFriend’s 2026 Indicators of a Thriving Workplace just dropped and the data is worth sitting with.

12,000+ Australian workers surveyed. The numbers are sobering. But more than that, there’s a gap in how we’re measuring workplace wellbeing altogether, and that’s the conversation we actually want to have.

Let us know - what insight surprises you the most?

Joep has written the full breakdown on Be Well Know-How (link in bio) — no jargon, and genuinely useful if you work in HR, L&D, or lead a team. If you aren’t yet a paying subscriber to our substack - he’s also posted this one in his LinkedIn (for free) go check it out.

SA small business owners, this one's for you. 👇

We've got five free mental health and wellbeing workshops running this May, funded by the SA Office for Small & Family Business.

Swipe to see what's on: including an in-person full-day experience with the incredible Katrina Webb-Denis PLY OAM in Norwood on 29 May (spots are limited for this one!).

All workshops are free. All are designed specifically for SA small business owners, managers and teams.

When times feel uncertain, wellbeing support is often the first thing deprioritised at work.

But research consistently shows that periods of high external pressure are when stress support has the greatest impact, because unmanaged stress compounds quickly when people have no framework to work with.

Supporting your people through uncertainty is one of the most effective things an organisation can do right now.

In Gallup’s recent “State of the Global Workplace” data shows that Australia ranks #2 in the world for life satisfaction… sounds good right? Although this sounds promising, when you zoom out on the trend line, Australia’s life satisfaction is actually declining year on year, and our stress levels are up a whopping 16% since 2011 - this is the fastest rise globally.

For all the poor time data nerds out there, Joep has combed through the report and analysed what the data and trends are actually telling us. We look at Aus/NZ, US/Canada, and Europe.

You can read the piece on our substack. Free to read. Let us know what surprises you.

49% of Australian workers report high daily stress, the fastest rise globally, up from 33% in 2011.

Where do you sit on that graph?

Stress isn’t just a personal problem. It shows up as disengagement, poor decisions, and teams that are technically present but not really there.

The good news: it’s manageable. Not by ignoring it, but by understanding how it works and building a practical response to it.

That’s exactly what our Managing Stress workshop covers. And because it’s a public workshop, your team doesn’t need to wait for an organisational rollout - anyone can register and show up.
