New Tripartite Advisory on Mental Well-being at Workplaces and other updates!

The Ministry of Manpower, NTUC and the Singapore National Employers Federation have jointly released the Tripartite Advisory on Mental Well-being at Workplaces. The Tripartite Advisory sets out practical guidance on measures that employers can adopt to support their employees’ mental well-being, and provides resources that employers, employees and self-employed persons can tap on.

Key Recommendations from the Tripartite Advisory

To support employees’ mental well-being, employers are encouraged to adopt the following practices:

  • Appoint mental wellness champion to raise employees’ awareness on mental well-being and mental health conditions through talks and workshops;
  • Provide access to counselling services;
  • Train managers to spot signs of mental distress, and on where they can refer employees to seek help from; and
  • Recognise the need for employees to have adequate rest outside work hours by establishing a work-life harmony policy to provide clarity on after-hours work communication.
