How corporate Australia is tackling the mental health crisis
AFR BOSS magazine explores the challenges that senior leaders face in maintaining physical and mental wellbeing.
"I think we have a role as leaders to show a human side, not just to society but in particular to your team," says Damien Mu, CEO of AIA in Australia and New Zealand. Paul Jeffers
AIA’s Australian and New Zealand chief executive Damien Mu is shooting hoops on the rooftop of the insurer’s Melbourne headquarters when AFR BOSS magazine greets him to talk about Australia’s mental health crisis.
Basketball is a pastime Mu loves – he was on the St Kilda Road rooftop court the last time BOSS met him and suggested it as the spot for photos. Mu, who draws cheers and gentle teasing from staff as he practises his shooting, loves to show employees his human side.
