Joe’s story

This film reminds us that Health Work Wellbeing is ultimately about people. It shows what can go wrong if developing health conditions are not managed properly. But it also sets out the vision for the difference we can make – to the lives of individuals and their families; to the success of business and to our society as a whole.

In the film, we first see Joe as his workload and stress levels build up both at work and at home. The film shows how such situations can quickly become untenable – and how, without the right support, Joe’s problems rapidly multiply until he ultimately breaks down.

In the second part of the film, we look at possible solutions for Joe’s case and how key interventions could have prevented Joe’s problems developing. The film considers how Government, health professionals, employers and individuals can work together to find new ways of helping people to be healthy and productive at work.
