Celebrating Mental Health Day
at Avnet |
|
Avnet's commitment to employee well-being extends beyond work performance. In October 2024, we organized a series of mental health initiatives across various of our offices in Asia Pacific to promote emotional health and stress management.
Taiwan
Avnet Taiwan hosted a heartwarming month long activity, "Sending Your Love," to foster meaningful connections and promote positive mental health among our employees.
From Oct 28 to Nov 28, employees were encouraged to express their gratitude and appreciation by writing heartfelt messages on thank-you cards. These messages were then shared with and publicly displayed, and handmade gifts from the Syin-Lu Social Welfare Foundation were delivered to recipients.
Robert Chang, Director, Field Application: "This event provided a wonderful opportunity to express my sincere appreciation to my teammates. It was a heartwarming experience to see the positive impact of a simple act of kindness."
Chloe Chiu, Senior Manager, Talent Management & Training: "Receiving heartfelt messages from my colleagues was truly uplifting. It reminded me of the importance of gratitude and the power of human connection."

With the theme "It's time to prioritize mental health in the workplace," the Singapore office hosted a series of activities on Oct 10 aimed at promoting employee well-being and fostering a supportive work environment. The event kicked off with an invitation for employees to log off at 4 PM and participate in the mental health activities. The goal was to create a space for relaxation, reflection, and connection.
The Gratitude Bowl and Appreciation Jar encouraged employees to express gratitude to colleagues and managers. The "5 Ways to Well-Being" activity focused on improving mental health, while the "How I Feel Today" exercise promoted emotional awareness. These initiatives aimed to foster a positive work environment and enhance overall employee satisfaction.
