Identifying Barriers to Mental Health Resources

We’re continuously sharing our data on worker wellness to emphasize the need for greater equity and inclusion in the workplace. In our national encuesta with our nonprofit partner NAMI, almost half of LGBTQ+ workers said news and current events affects their mental health at work. That investigación also found that U.S. Black workers face greater barriers to finding mental health support.
“All Americans deserve safe, supportive and mentally healthy work environments. By sharing data that illustrates the intersection of mental health and people’s identities, we strive to promote empathy and equity in more workplaces. It is vital that companies continue to break down stigma and prioritize diversity, equity and inclusion. Together, we can make a difference and improve the lives of millions of U.S. employees and their families.”
