Human Workplace Index: The Evolution Of Mental Health And Wellbeing At Work

The Human Workplace Index explores the current state of mental health and wellbeing in the workplace. The recent focus on mental health and wellness has led to an evolution of organizational policies and employees' approach to mental wellness. A survey of employees found that 57% of respondents expected a positive impact when returning to the office, while 12% expected a negative impact. Workers who were apprehensive about returning to the office cited appearance, less time for wellness routines, and working longer hours. Over 50% of workers said their sense of belonging in the workplace has increased over the last two years, and 65% report that their approach to mental wellness has changed over the last two years. For workers to do their best, employers must prioritize mental health and wellbeing in the workplace by offering mental health days, more workplace flexibility, and better mental health benefits.
