The high pressure and rapid pace of work today has taken a toll on our mental well-being, and the pandemic has only caused further stress. Employers are slowly beginning to realise the importance of mental health in the workplace, but what kind of workplace policies and programmes need to be put in place? We explore how Employee Assistance Programmes can help, and why quick fixes won’t work, in our conversation with Liana Mohd Nawi, Clinical Psychologist & Director, Professional Services, Thrive Well, and  Zhong Jing Jing, Managing Director, Helpling Singapore.
