SINGAPORE — Over half of workers in Singapore (55 per cent) lack trusted relationships in the workplace, leading to feelings of isolation and loneliness, according to the latest Mental Health Index released on Friday (22 March) by Telus Health, a provider of health technology services.
These workers without trusted workplace relationships are more than four times more prone to report feelings of isolation than those with such relationships, according to the index.
Meanwhile, over half of the workers (52 per cent) do not have trusted personal relationships, making them nearly six times more likely to feel isolated than workers with trusted personal relationships.
