The onset of the pandemic pushed employers to pay attention to mental health support in the workplace, and after nearly five years, many employers have something to show for their efforts.
According to insurance company Aflac, 54% of employees are now confident that employers care at least moderately about their mental health, which is an improvement over last year when the number was at 48%. In addition, 47% of employees believe their organizations have improved how they address mental health needs in the last year. In other words, workers have an increasingly positive outlook about their employer’s role in their mental health, despite the political and economic stressors that have defined 2024.
