🌟 Driving Workplace Mental Health Forward in Japan 🇯🇵 We recently had the privilege of co-hosting the Workforce Mental Health and Well-Being Event at the Hotel Okura in Tokyo, alongside Columbia University, Heidrick & Struggles Japan, and Pasona N A, Inc. This event marked the inaugural launch of our Japan Leadership Coalition on Mental Health. With 60+ senior leaders, including CHROs, related senior executives, and in-house industrial doctors from 50+ companies, the event provided an invaluable platform to address the growing importance of workplace mental health in Japan. Thank you to Steven G. (Greenberg), Partner-in-Charge, Japan, of Heidrick & Struggles Japan, and Kenji Furushiro, President & CEO of Pasona NA, Inc., for co-hosting this important event with us. 👥 Key Highlights: 🔹 Kathleen M. Pike, CEO of One Mind and Director of Columbia University’s Mental Health + Work Design Lab, emphasized the urgent need for a scientific, strategic, and community-driven approach to mental health, particularly in addressing the challenges facing Japanese organizations. 🔹 Dr. Tsuyoshi Akiyama, President of the World Federation for Mental Health, encouraged a shift in mindset, urging us to view employees with mental health challenges as valuable assets, not burdens. 🧠 Key Messages Communicated: 🔹 The Importance of Strategic Approaches: Kathy emphasized the need for a strategic, scientific, and comprehensive approach to workplace mental health, focusing on the urgent challenges faced by Japanese organizations. 🔹 The 3 Ps Framework: Kathy shared the 3 Ps Framework of Protection, Promotion, and Provision. The most effective workplace strategies will address mental health across this continuum. 🔹 Challenges in Japan's Workforce: Japan is grappling with a shrinking workforce, low employee engagement (only 6%), and annual economic losses of ¥6 trillion due to mental health-related issues. While 63.4% of companies are taking action, only 26% have formal strategies in place, and preventive measures are underutilized by 65%. 🔹 Mental Health as an Asset: Dr. Akiyama presented the Industrial Mental Health framework, urging a shift in mindset to view employees with mental health challenges as valuable assets rather than burden. 💬 Introducing the Japan Leadership Coalition on Mental Health We are excited to officially launch the Japan Leadership Coalition on Mental Health, a collaborative initiative uniting leading Japanese business leaders and corporations to prioritize mental health and well-being in the workplace.

We were thrilled to partner with The Mental Health Coalition to host “Wellbeing at Work” earlier this week, a dynamic event that brought together 200+ attendees in New York City. Kathleen M. Pike, CEO of One Mind, led a powerful panel discussion featuring Beth Wiesendanger (she/her/hers) Wiesendanger, Kati Morton, LMFT, Rawle Andrews Jr., Esq., and Rachel (Duncan) Ochinegro. Together, they explored how leaders and organizations can shape workplace cultures where mental health is not just supported but celebrated. 💼💡 The conversation highlighted actionable strategies to foster connection, resilience, and inclusivity: 💡 Leadership Vulnerability: When leaders openly share their experiences with mental health, it creates a ripple effect—breaking down stigma, building empathy, and encouraging open conversations. 💡 Building Community: Inclusive initiatives, such as small group storytelling and connection-driven programs, help individuals feel seen and supported, fostering a thriving workplace culture. 💡 Proactive Education: Offering regular training on stress management, resilience, and burnout normalizes mental health discussions and equips employees with tools for success. 💡 The Business Case for Mental Health: Companies that prioritize mental well-being experience improved morale, reduced absenteeism, and better retention. Supporting mental health isn’t just good for employees—it’s good for business. This session reinforced a critical message: Mental health at work is essential, not optional. By fostering environments where well-being takes center stage, we can create workplaces that empower individuals and drive success. #MentalHealth #WorkplaceWellness #LeadershipMatters #EmployeeWellbeing #FutureOfWork #CommunityConnection
