Employers must create a culture of care and compassion to look after the mental health of employees amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, according to Samson Tse, a professor who focuses on mental health and social work at the University of Hong Kong. He spoke with the South China Morning Post’s Elaine Ly about what firms can do to avoid losing contributing members of the workforce who may not know how to take care of themselves when facing the stress created by Covid-19.
