Our Goals
Data-Driven Insights
Utilize the Mental Health at Work Index to measure and improve workplace mental health efforts and establish a regional benchmark.
Sustained Commitment
Develop long-term strategies through executive roundtables and symposiums that deepen engagement and drive action.
Why Mental Health is Crucial for Japanese Corporations
The average professional will spend 90,000 hours at work over the course of their lifetime. Employers have a tremendous opportunity and responsibility to create mentally healthy workplaces by reducing exposure to psychosocial risks and hazards, promoting capacity building and stigma reducing efforts, and providing high-quality, easily accessible care. For Japanese corporations, this is especially crucial as they face a shrinking workforce, intense competition for talent, and a younger generation demanding greater attention to mental health and well-being.
