Burned Out & Breaking Down: The Workplace Crisis

As businesses race toward growth and innovation, are they neglecting their most valuable asset — their people? The 2025 Malaysia Well-being@Work Index reveals a concerning decline in workplace well-being, with widening gaps across demographics. Stress levels are rising, psychological safety is slipping, and vulnerable groups — women, younger employees, and junior staff — are feeling the brunt of it. What does this mean for businesses, and what can be done to turn the tide? We discuss the latest findings and explore why employee well-being is more than just a corporate buzzword. It's the foundation of sustainable success.
