‎Speaking during an “Advocacy Round Table” webinar organised by the Chartered Institute of Personnel Management of Nigeria (CIPM), Adewusi said businesses must deliberately manage the internal adjustments required by the new tax framework to ensure operational stability and sustained growth.

‎The session brought together industry leaders and policy stakeholders to examine the implications of the emerging tax framework on businesses, particularly its impact on the cost of doing business in Nigeria.

‎According to Adewusi, major policy shifts such as tax reforms often come with operational complexities that require proactive leadership and well-structured transition planning within organisations.

‎“There needs to be a serious change-management strategy that every employer must embark upon,” she said. “The transition to a new tax framework goes beyond regulatory compliance. Organisations must ensure that their internal systems, policies and people are aligned to adapt effectively to the new environment.”

‎She stressed that clear and transparent communication would be critical to maintaining stability within organisations during the transition period, noting that employees and other stakeholders must be properly engaged as companies adjust to the new regulatory realities.

‎“Employers need to be more open with communication, more transparent and more understanding as they move towards adopting the new tax act,” she added.

‎Adewusi noted that such engagement would help reduce uncertainty among employees and support smoother implementation of the reforms within organisations.

‎Despite the adjustment challenges, she expressed optimism about the long-term prospects of the reforms, describing the new tax framework as a potential catalyst for improving Nigeria’s economic competitiveness.

‎She also encouraged startups and emerging businesses to see the reforms as an opportunity to strengthen their operational structures and build sustainable enterprises within a more transparent regulatory system.

‎According to her, businesses that proactively align their internal processes and governance frameworks with the new tax environment will be better positioned to thrive in the evolving economic landscape.

‎Her remarks, she said, reflect the commitment of AXA Mansard Insurance Plc to contributing expert insights to policy discussions shaping Nigeria’s business environment, particularly in areas relating to governance, regulatory compliance and economic reforms.

‎Through such engagements, the company aims to support broader efforts aimed at building a more transparent, resilient and investment-friendly economy.

This comprehensive study underscores the critical importance of mental health in the workplace and among young people.

According to Omowunmi Mabel Adewusi, General Counsel and Human Resource Director of AXA Mansard, the Mind Health Report is part of AXA’s ongoing commitment to promoting positive mental well-being and reducing stigma through holistic approaches.

She said,

“The state of mind health in the world continues to give cause for concern, with a lot of people currently experiencing a mental health condition. This fifth edition of the report shows a worrying trend among our youth. We also observe an interesting trend in the workplace that reveals work impacts employees mental health either as a source of support or a source of issues.

The AXA Mind Health Report 2025 reveals significant insights into the mental health landscape, highlighting the challenges young adults and employees face.

According to the report, 44% of young adults (18-24) currently suffer from mental health conditions, with excessive use of social media and financial instability being major contributing factors.

Additionally, work-related stress, including excessive workload, tight deadlines, and a lack of work-life balance, remains a significant concern for employees.

Adewusi further emphasized the importance of prioritizing mental health in the workplace, explaining that mental health is a crucial aspect of overall well-being. Organizations must implement policies that support their employees.

“For us at AXA, this realization is at the heart of our We Care Programme, which affords our employees benefits such as flexible working hours, access to professional counselling services, monthly health workshops, a supportive work environment, menstrual, extended paternity, and caregiver leave benefits.”

“The findings of the AXA Mind Health Report 2025 highlight the urgent need for proactive measures to address mental health issues in the workplace and among the youth. We are calling on business leaders, government agencies, and other stakeholders to foster a wellness culture that promotes positive mental health and supports individuals in reaching their full potential.

The 2025 study, conducted in collaboration with IPSOS, aims to identify mental health and wellness issues in global society to build solutions to mitigate them. A total of 17,000 respondents from 16 countries participated in the survey.
