Nearly half of Singapore workers also do not feel that employers support their psychological health and safety.

More than half or 55% of Singapore workers lack trusted workplace relationships which leads to feelings of isolation and loneliness, according to the TELUS Mental Health Index.

Over 45% of employees doubt or are uncertain if their workplace supports speaking up about concerns without fear of punishment or humiliation. The mental health score of workers in Singapore is 62.6.

Workers aged under 40 are 80% more likely than workers over 50 to lack trusted personal connections.

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.
