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.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
