Let’s Talk: Workplace Mental Well-being [Part 1]

How can organisations foster a culture that supports mental well-being in the workplace? In this first of a three-part podcast, host Daniel Lim is joined by Porsche Poh from Silver Ribbon (Singapore) and Joseph Kalaivanar from the Well-being Champions Network.

Together, the guests discuss the lingering effects of COVID-19 on employee mental health, highlighting that there are still individuals who are silently struggling with stress while adapting to remote work. This highlights the importance of psychological safety, where employers are encouraged to have open conversations about mental health to build inclusiveness in workplaces.

Discover practical strategies to create a supportive workplace – from training management to recognise signs of distress, to refining mental well-being policies. Find out what the “SAM” method is, and how it helps employees to assess their well-being.
