Many employees are quietly cracking, according to new research. Beneath the surface of professionalism and productivity, one in two Australian workers report they’re struggling to hold it all together. The drivers are complex, from the rising cost of living to poorly managed change, but the consequences are clear: declining wellbeing, lower engagement and higher risk of burnout.In this episode, organisational psychologist Dr Michelle McQuaid joins host Tani Jacobi CPHR to unpack the latest research on quiet cracking and what HR and business leaders can do to strengthen resilience, civility and trust in uncertain times. Michelle shares evidence-based insights into how psychosocial hazards, AI adoption and global volatility are reshaping how people feel and perform at work – and how leaders can respond with both humanity and rigour.SHOW NOTESLearning:Explore AHRI’s micro-credential in health, safety and wellbeing: https://bit.ly/3WKSYSyShort course: Driving engagement and performance during change – https://bit.ly/4qiHFywShort course: Implementing wellbeing initiatives – https://bit.ly/471SHAFFurther reading:Explore Dr Michelle McQuaid’s research on wellbeing and performance: michellemcquaid.com/researchConnect:Connect with Dr Michelle McQuaid on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/chellemcquaidFollow AHRI on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/company/ahriAHRI members can join the AHRI LinkedIn Lounge to access bonus content and continue the discussion: linkedin.com/groups/13848256
