A guide for leaders in building inclusive workplaces
Last updated 6 January 2025
For organisation leaders
We believe that every workplace can be a welcoming and supportive environment. Everyone can play their part in achieving inclusivity.
As organisation leaders or human resource practitioners, we recommend that you practice ‘ADAPT’ to create a supportive and inclusive workplace for persons with mental health conditions. The ‘ADAPT’ framework stands for:
Advance awareness and dialogue on mental health.
Develop strategies to monitor and strengthen employee mental well-being.
Appoint a Workplace Mental Well-being Champion.
Partner with employment support agencies for Return-to-Work and employment support.
Train supervisors and colleagues to support employees with mental health conditions.

As colleagues, we recommend that you practice the 3 ‘L’s to support your colleagues’ well-being with ease. The 3 ‘L’s stand for:
Look for signs and symptoms that could indicate a colleague is struggling or in distress.
Listen to your colleague actively and empathetically.
Link your colleague to practical support and resources.
