A quick, confidential way to support mental health for your globally mobile
For global employers, especially those with expat staff, mental health support is no longer a “nice to have” – it’s essential. Amid the pressures of relocation, cultural adjustment, and professional demands, expat employees are often at greater risk of mental health challenges. That’s why we’re highlighting AXA’s free Mind Health Self-Check: a practical, accessible tool that any international organization can recommend to their team.
What is it?
The AXA Mind Health Self-Check is a free online tool, available in 12 languages, designed to assess and support overall mental wellbeing. The assessment takes under 10 minutes and generates a personal mind health report based on AXA’s Mind Health Index. It places individuals into one of four categories – flourishing, getting by, languishing, or struggling – and provides suggestions for improvement tailored to their results.
Three Key Areas Assessed:
- Current State of Mind – Understand your emotional wellbeing and how it’s influencing your life.
- Skills & Beliefs – Explore your resilience, confidence, and how you react to life events.
- Lifestyle – See how your habits, connections, and routines are affecting your wellbeing.
What makes it useful?
- It’s confidential and anonymous — no personal data is stored.
- Results are immediate and supported by practical, evidence-based resources.
- It’s accessible in English, Chinese, Thai, French, Japanese, and more.
- It’s not a diagnostic tool, but a great first step in identifying potential issues and encouraging further support.
Why it matters for employers
Providing staff with tools like this is a simple, cost-free way to show that mental health matters. It’s particularly useful during onboarding, pre-departure, or post-relocation check-ins. For HR teams, it’s a scalable way to promote wellbeing without requiring medical data or personal disclosure.
