Otherleading countries include Thailand (65.01), the Philippines (64.44), Malaysia(64.22), Singapore (63.98), Japan (63.77), China (63.61), and Indonesia(63.55).

Meanwhile,others such as India, Australia, Taiwan (China), and the Republic of Korea arebelow average though there is potential for further development, thereport found.

Thestudy uncovered the strengths and areas of improvement of workforces across Asia-Pacificon both individual and organisational levels.

While individuals are self-aware, able to build workplace relationships,and likely to encourage workforce participation, they may need support withstress management, emotional regulation, and mental well-being. Fororganisations in these markets, organisational support is on the rise thoughcompanies may need support in implementing employee well-being programmes, Intellect noted.  

Thethree sectors with the highest organisational health scores are healthcare andpharmaceuticals (67.48), government and nonprofit (66.81), and education(65.76). All of those are above the overall benchmark score of 63.85.
