It is increasingly evident that existing interventions fall short of effectively mitigating the evolving mental health risks. Failing to respond to these concerning trends will inevitably impose a substantial financial burden on organisations – the total cost is predicted to be US$6 trillion by 2030.
The economic burden is particularly evident in Singapore, where the total economic cost of lost productivity due to anxiety and depression is estimated at S$15.7 billion (US$11.72 billion) annually.
In response to these challenges, organisations are recognising the need to invest in employee wellbeing. Since 2020, wellbeing investment has risen by 27% on average among Asia Pacific employers, aligning with a global trend where wellbeing has become a top priority for 63% of organisations.
Prioritising good mental health is not just essential for individual well-being; it is fundamental for resilient workforces, high levels of engagement, and successful productivity outcomes.
