National Healthcare Group, Safe Space launch programme for employee wellbeing

It offers access to counselling, mental fitness coaching, and multilingual resources.

The National Healthcare Group (NHG) has partnered with Safe Space, a digital mental health platform, to introduce the employee assistance programme aimed at improving employee support and wellbeing.

The programme offers both managed and pay-per-use services, which provide access to counselling, mental fitness coaching, and multilingual resources.

Poor mental health amongst employees has been linked to decreased self-esteem and productivity, leading to higher absenteeism and negatively affecting both individuals and organisations.

With 1 in 5 employees facing mental health challenges, this can result in a 40% churn rate and an annual productivity loss of $17.5b, according to Safe Space.

Whilst organisations are beginning to recognise the importance of mental health support, Safe Space noted that implementation is often poorly executed.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
