1 in 2 workers comfortable discussing mental health with mgmt: survey

However, 66% of respondents reported heavy workloads.

Over half of Singapore employees are comfortable discussing mental health concerns with their managers or human resources teams, with 57% rating their work-life balance as "Good" or "Excellent," according to a survey by job platform foundit.

This trend suggests an increased focus on employee wellbeing and a more open corporate culture surrounding mental health issues, it added.

However, 66% of respondents reported heavy workloads, indicating room for improvement in workload distribution and management. Additionally, whilst 35% of employees engage in wellness programmes, 38% have not participated, and 27% are unaware of such initiatives.

The survey also found that 37% of employees occasionally experience burnout symptoms such as exhaustion and reduced professional efficacy, underscoring the need for continued support.

Employees cited workload (37%) and a lack of support (34%) as the primary contributors to work-related stress, foundit said.

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.
