We're changing the
narrative
on corporate wellbeing
Nurturing healthier employees requires more thoughtfulness and creativity than an office weight loss contest or a self-help book.
Wellbeing improvements happen when companies come together to make employee wellbeing a shared priority.
There never seems to be a good time to talk about mental health, especially in Asia.
But what if we flipped the script?
Rather than viewing mental health as a taboo topic to sweep under the rug, let’s see it for what it is: an undeniable aspect of our daily lives.
Our minds’ conditions have a huge impact on physical health, performance, and productivity.
Our Mission
Here at MindFi, we believe that workplaces play an outsized role in employee health.
We’re on a mission to help companies safeguard the #MindFitness of their workforces, so they can pursue organizational goals sustainably.
