1 in 2 Singaporeans no longer prioritise their careers

This encourages employers to evaluate support for their workers.

Nearly 5 in 10 or 49% of Singaporean workers were forced to remove career in their priorities because of burnout issues, prompting employers to reevaluate mental health support to raise employee well-being.

Employee Hero's latest Employee Wellness Report polled 1,005 Singaporean employees, 62% of which said that they are suffering from burn out. Likewise, 57% said they have an average or poor work-life balance.

Their research also indicated that 68% of Singaporean workers are stressed about their finances, and 65% said that their stress levels were severely impacted by the effects of COVID-19 on the workplace.

Despite these results, the study found that Singaporean employers managed to impose changes in mental health support, with 47% of employees saying that their firm is very supportive of their mental health.

Nevertheless, 53% of employees feel uncomfortable disclosing their mental health issues and 49% said they are wary that reporting mental health issues, fearing that it would lead to repercussions in the workplace.

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.
