Entering 2025, the importance of holistic employee mental health support continues to rise. To keep their competitive edge in the war for talent, it is crucial that employers pay attention to not just the physical wellbeing of employees but also mental wellbeing providing support to prevent burnout and stress.
Why Mental Health Support Important to Employees
In a study conducted by Bupa, the data revealed that six out of ten millennials in Hong Kong are dissatisfied with their overall well-being influenced by demanding work schedules. This phenomenon is reflected across the APAC region.

There are many ways employers can provide support for mental well-being in the workplace. Research has shown that remote and hybrid employees are more likely to feel supported by their employers in regards to their overall well-being.
By providing remote and hybrid benefits to employees, employers can have a sense of control over their lives, relieving stress and preventing burnout in the long run.
Mental Health Support Through Group Medical Policy
Employers can support employees’ wellbeing by providing holistic coverage in their group medical policies. More and more insurers are recognizing the shift in focus on mental health support, mental health support benefits are becoming more common across industries.
Employers can further push the boundaries by embracing digital platforms that are preferred by younger generations, such as millennials and Gen Zs.
Better Support with Flexible Benefits
With the modern workforce being as diverse as ever, the traditional one-size-fits-all approach to employee benefits falls short when it comes to providing employees with the benefits they want. This is where flexible benefits come to play.
Flexible benefits offer a myriad of advantages for employers and employees as they allow for personalized benefits tailored to individual needs, fostering a sense of value and appreciation among employees without the employer having to pay high premiums to have them covered in a single group plan.
By providing options like flexible work schedules, healthcare choices, and wellness programs, employers can enhance employee satisfaction, retention, and overall well-being.
Flexible benefits can also promote a more positive and engaged work culture as employees are empowered with more control over their benefits, they feel more taken care of and supported by having their medical needs covered.
