From virtual mindfulness classes to eating together online, companies are giving staff mental health support

SINGAPORE - During an online workshop by social movement Hush TeaBar, lawyer Jeffery Tan drew a round-faced man with arrows pointing in and out from the face.

During the session, led by Hush TeaBar's deaf facilitators and people recovering from mental health conditions, Mr Tan says they learnt to get in touch with their emotions - and one another. He would use the commute time to"clear some headspace" before"jumping into work". But now,"the daily routine of going from my bedroom straight to the 'office' gives the brain little time to rest and digest", he says, adding that he is also feeling the strain of isolation and remote communication.

Other companies which do so include fintech solutions provider Fintech Alliance, fintech platform Funding Societies, cyber security firm Horangi, and Rewardz, which develops digital engagement and recognition platforms.
