What real mental health support at work can look like
With the Workplace Fairness Act kicking in next year, companies must implement real operational changes
WORLD Mental Health Day falls on Saturday (Oct 10). This year’s theme is “Lived Experiences Heard: Real Voices, Real Change”, which emphasises the importance of listening to people and urging changes in policy and the workplace.
Despite increased awareness of mental health in Singapore, a critical question remains: Have we achieved pervasive, actual implementation of real and tangible support for people with mental health conditions in our workplaces?
The honest answer is no.
