We appreciate the support we have received from CMHA HK so far. The advice and training provided by the team has helped tremendously in formulating and implementing our mental health policy and strategy. We look forward to the continued partnership with CMHA HK to help take our effort to the next level.

Supporting people’s mental health should be a core focus for all employers. CMHA HK provides valuable insights, know-how and training for businesses in Hong Kong, helping to improve the provision of support in our community

It can’t just be talk, embedding supportive and positive mental wellbeing practices into everyday working life needs to come from leadership and be top-down. Wellbeing is a key pillar of our global talent priorities and CMHA HK have been key in helping EY to develop our response.

We all have a role to play to help build a mentally healthy workplace. I am extremely privileged to be working with CMHA HK and the members to make a meaningful difference.

In addition to a fit and able body, we need a healthy mind to achieve our wellbeing, better health and greater happiness. Good mental health enables us to cope with everyday stresses and occasional crises. Together with CMHA HK, let’s help our colleagues and each other to build and strengthen our mental wellbeing.

Hong Kong is an international business city. In order to retain international competitiveness in the future, it is essential that companies play a critical role in encouraging employees to understand the mental health of themselves and their colleagues, and to promote good wellbeing in the workplace.

So much focus is spent on physical wellbeing, why not mental? And why isn’t this a regular board agenda item?

People are all we have. CMHA HK offers us the ability to share practical steps across similar firms that help us to address mental health challenges.

My participation in CMHA HK activities has connected me with like-minded fellow advocates, whose dedication and passion reignite my belief in the power of collective effort to transform our workplace into healthier environments. The simple lesson from my Chinese ancestors also resonates deeply: “Never disregard the value of small acts of kindness, nor dismiss the harm of seemingly minor misdeeds (勿以善小而不為,勿以惡小而為之).” This teaching is af the heart of my advocacy. Let’s remember that even the smallest act of kindness can have a big impact. Let’s embrace this spirit today, and every day thereafter.

Hong Kong is a special, vibrant and competitive place with a diverse society. Mental health is necessary for all of us to be at our best in and outside of the workplace, and all employers and managers have a critical role to play in supporting their people. I am delighted to join the CMHA HK Board to contribute to the growth of the Alliance, and share experiences and toolkits across members to help make a difference in the broader Hong Kong business community.
