The EDGE, Malaysia

The managing director of EGN Malaysia (Executives'​ Global Network), Nick Jonsson, is covered by one of the top business publications in Malaysia, THE EDGE Malaysia, on December 5th 2022.

In this feature, Nick observed that throughout his corporate career, he frequently witnessed stress, anxiety, and depression affecting many executives. He noted that these issues were often overlooked and rarely discussed within the workplace. The stigma surrounding mental health created an environment where individuals felt isolated in their struggles, ultimately impacting both personal well-being and overall organizational effectiveness.

Nick emphasized the need for open conversations about mental health as a crucial step in fostering a more supportive and understanding corporate culture. He highlighted that addressing mental health openly can help break down the stigma often associated with it, encouraging employees to share their experiences and challenges without fear of judgment. By creating an environment where individuals feel comfortable discussing their mental well-being, companies can promote better overall health, enhance productivity, and cultivate stronger relationships among team members. This shift towards transparency not only benefits employees but also contributes to a more resilient and thriving workplace.
