Mental Fitness & Resilience

The American Psychological Association defines resilience as the process of adapting well to adversity, trauma, tragedy, threats, or significant sources of stress. In Singapore, the MOM Tripartite Advisory on Mental Well-being at Workplaces recommends that employers train managers to recognise signs of stress and support employee mental well-being.

Addressing burnout is crucial for workplace well-being in Singapore, especially given that nearly a third of young people aged 15 to 35 reported severe or very severe symptoms of depression, anxiety, or stress, according to the National Youth Mental Health Study by the Institute of Mental Health (IMH). Employers have a vital role in recognizing early warning signs and implementing supportive measures to foster a healthier work environment.
