We are pleased to announce that in March 2020 APEC’s Life Sciences Innovation Forum (LSIF) fully endorsed the APEC White Paper on Workplace Mental Health and Safety (the Workplace White Paper). The Workplace White Paper was developed with the Digital Hub’s Workplace Wellness and Resilience Workgroup with the leadership of Ms. Sapna Mahajan (Canada) and Dr. Hiroto Ito (Japan).
The aim of the Workplace White Paper is to outline the critical role of mental health in the workplace and in economic prosperity, highlight best practices and model programmes from across the APEC region, and to deliver a call to action for policy makers, employers and individuals with regards to supporting workplace mental health and safety.
The White Paper will be widely disseminated in the coming months, taking into account the new and changing context of the impact of COVID-19.
