NIRAD TEWARIE
CEO - AMCHAM T&T
Nirad Tewarie, AMCHAM T&T CEO who delivered the Welcome Remarks at the 14th Annual National Excellence in HSE Awards said Physical health and safety while fundamental priorities for any organization, but we must also take a moment to shine a spotlight on the mental and emotional well-being of our workforce.
"Supporting mental health is not just about reducing stress, preventing burnout, or offering counselling services, though these are important. It’s about creating a culture where employees feel safe to speak openly about their mental health concerns, where support systems are in place to guide them through challenges, and where the stigma surrounding mental health is actively broken down."
