Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine wins SBR Management Excellence Awards for employee well-being programme

LKCMedicine Cares focuses on year-round events surrounding mental health, physical wellness, and social well-being.

The Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine (LKCMedicine) was awarded as the winner of the Health & Wellness Initiative of the Year - Education category at the SBR Management Excellence Awards for its holistic employee well-being programme LKCMedicine Cares.

Launched in July 2022, LKCMedicine Cares focuses on well-being beyond the physical health aspects and includes activities on social wellbeing and mental health to cater to the needs of a diverse workforce. Given the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on mental health and the dearth of in-person social interactions for more than two years, the LKCMedicine Cares workgroup had strategised the inclusion of activities on mental health and social well-being to better support the needs of the LKCMedicine staff and faculty.

Under this, the programme has organised a wide spectrum of events and activities, including mindfulness workshops, psychological first aid, fitness classes, health screening, coffee chats, social workshops, and social events. It has also intentionally supported social causes in its activities when possible.

To date, 31 employees have also been trained in psychological first aid. Plans for a network of peer helpers for colleagues who may need support are in the pipeline.

The introduction of a comprehensive range of activities has also added to campus vibrancy, fostered interdepartmental interactions, and increased employee engagement. These have also received positive feedback from stakeholders.

The SBR Management Excellence Awards is an esteemed awards programme dedicated to recognising and celebrating the remarkable achievements of leaders, innovators, teams, and initiatives that drive growth and make a positive impact on both business operations and its workforce.

SBR Management Excellence Awards

You're the reader we write for. You're also the person our partners want to reach.

If that sentence describes you — a founder, a C-suite, someone whose attention companies pay good money for — then you already understand why SBR works. We've spent twenty years earning the trust of readers exactly like you. Which is exactly what makes this an interesting place for your company to show up, too.

The ways it can show up are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The right fit depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If your company has something this audience should know about, we'd like to hear what you're working on.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.

30 One-Sentence Stories From People Who Have Built Better Habits

None of these stories are mine. They were sent to me by readers of Atomic Habits. My hope is that these examples will illustrate how real people are putting the book into practice. They will show you what people are actually doing to build good habits and break bad ones. And hopefully, they will spark some ideas for how you can do the same.

SBR 5 Lorem Ipsum News 2 [8 May]

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
