Turning the tide on seafarers' wellbeing
Helping seafarers deal with the isolation and mental health struggles that come with their jobs.
- Client
- A global shipping major (Synergy Marine)
- Challenge
- Isolation and mental health risk at sea
- Programme
- Ambassadors, check-ins, growth roadmaps
Owing to the stressful nature of the shipping industry, seafarers face a range of mental health challenges, from exhaustion and boredom to depression and even thoughts of suicide.
Manah Wellness helped Synergy Marine, a Singapore-headquartered shipping firm, normalise mental health conversations at multiple levels of the organisation's hierarchy.
This is just a glimpse of how we have helped Synergy build a 'DNA of caring' that sets it apart in its industry.
- Training members of Synergy's staff to become Wellbeing Ambassadors and Champions: mental health first-responders and advocates.
- Conducting psychologist-facilitated one-on-one emotional check-ins for each team member.
- Providing personalised growth roadmaps for each employee's unique needs.
