About Mental Well-being
Mental Well-being
1 in 7 people in Singapore experienced a mental disorder in their lifetime, and international studies have suggested that work stressors were among factors associated with poor mental health.
How Are Work and Mental Well-being Related?
According to World Health Organisation (WHO), work is good for health. A healthy state of mental well-being can also contribute to improved productivity. A negative working environment, however, can lead to physical and mental health challenges.
