Thrive Well

Work has changed significantly in recent years, from the sudden shift to remote work in 2020 to evolving strategies like returning to the office or downsizing space. These rapid changes can affect employees' mental health, creating uncertainty, stress, and burnout if not managed with support and care. Our team at Thrive Well were honoured to be invited by Federation of Malaysian Manufacturers (FMM) to be a part of the FMM Business Best Practices Webinar on the 5th December to share on 𝙁𝙤𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙀𝙢𝙥𝙡𝙤𝙮𝙚𝙚 𝙍𝙚𝙨𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙈𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙖𝙡 𝙒𝙚𝙡𝙡𝙗𝙚𝙞𝙣𝙜. From the poll in the session, the biggest barrier faced when it comes to seeking mental health support was the 𝘧𝘦𝘢𝘳 𝘰𝘧 𝘣𝘦𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘫𝘶𝘥𝘨𝘦𝘥, followed closely by 𝘭𝘪𝘮𝘪𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘰𝘳 𝘯𝘰 𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘪𝘢𝘭 𝘤𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘨𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘭 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘵𝘩 𝘴𝘦𝘳𝘷𝘪𝘤𝘦𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘤𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘧𝘪𝘵𝘴. Thrive Well's Managing Director and Clinical Psychologist Ms. Ellisha Othman and Clinical Director and Counselling Psychologist Ms. Ivy Tan shared about mental health, sources of stress, some signs to look out for when someone in the workplace may need to seek support, as well as how Employee Assistance Program (EAP) can help organisations to boost productivity, enhance job satisfaction and create long-term success. Organisational culture matters even more in the fast-paced, multigenerational workplace of today. It is vital for organisations to develop strategies to create a resilient and inclusive workplace. Thank you Federation of Malaysian Manufacturers (FMM) for the opportunity to share on this important topic. We look forward to supporting organisations to achieve their goals through effective and sustainable strategies to foster resilience and employee wellbeing.

Since the COVID-19 pandemic, women have been struggling even more to cope with multiple responsibilities such as managing household matters and caring for the family, with some even venturing into side businesses to further support the family financially. As such, the K.A.M.I. Sembang programme by Thrive Well provides women with basic psychosocial support in processing their experiences and equips them with the necessary skills to face challenges. Since becoming a WEPs signatory in 2022, Thrive Well has taken on an active role in being mindful of the specific needs of women; women participating in community programmes as well as our employees. Through our experience, we have an increased sense of understanding that adaptation is necessary to create a supportive environment for all to thrive.

📻 𝐁𝐅𝐌 𝐏𝐎𝐃𝐂𝐀𝐒𝐓: "𝑻𝒂𝒌 𝑵𝒂𝒎𝒑𝒂𝒌 𝑴𝒂𝒄𝒂𝒎 𝑶𝑲𝑼 𝑷𝒖𝒏" (“You don’t look differently abled”) Growing up, NOOR INSYIRA MOKHTAR never considered her vision problems to be a disability. But at just 17, she was informed that her impairment would preclude her from applying for a driver’s license. Shattered, her dream of being able to drive and support her visually-impaired parents and younger siblings came to an abrupt halt. From having to shoulder adult responsibilities from a young age to being at the receiving end of discriminatory attitude by her employers — on this episode of 𝐁𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐅𝐞𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 with BFM Business, Insyira reflects on the multitude of challenges she has faced as a person with hidden disability and how that has pushed her to grow beyond the limitations commonly associated with the OKU label. ❗Live 𝐖𝐞𝐝𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐝𝐚𝐲 (Dec 11) at 𝟒𝐩𝐦 (MYT). 🎧 Tune in here: https://www.bfm.my/podcast #wearethrivewell #thrivewell #bfmradio #becausefeelingsmatter #visualimpairment #OKU #disabilityawareness #empoweringcommunities #inclusivehealth #kitajagakita

📈 LeadWomen has partnered with Asia School of Business to launch Malaysia's first gender gap study in the corporate sector! Despite the growing conversation around gender equality, there’s been a critical lack of data on the gender gap in corporate environments. This important baseline study aims to provide essential insights into the different experiences faced by women and men at work, from career motivation to wellbeing. The results will help shape a clearer understanding of the barriers that persist, and highlight the urgent need for targeted action toward a more equitable workplace. We urgently need YOUR voices to make this first step towards targeted gender equity a reality.
