Singapore Ministry of Manpower Advocates Holistic Approach to Workplace Mental Health
The Ministry of Manpower (MOM) in Singapore has decided against establishing national psychological safety benchmarks for workplaces. Instead, MOM is promoting a broader approach to mental health, encouraging employers to assess and address mental well-being using tools like iWorkHealth. This tool helps organizations identify workplace stressors and psychosocial risks, providing anonymized reports to guide improvements. The decision was announced by Acting Minister for Manpower Jasmin Lau, who emphasized the importance of various factors such as job demands and workplace relationships in influencing mental well-being. This approach aims to create environments where employees feel safe to express their ideas and concerns.
