The events over the past two years have fundamentally changed the U.S. workplace.
From the COVID-19 pandemic to the murders of George Floyd, Brianna Taylor, and others, the attack on Capitol Hill, wildfires on the west coast, and more– these events will have long-lasting and unknown effects on the mental health and well-being of your employees. Not to mention the changes to where and how we work, which have also created new challenges for employees.
Heading into 2022, business leaders can no longer ignore the mental health crisis sweeping across the nation.
Below you’ll learn some of the most eye-opening employee mental health statistics for 2022 and the steps you can take to respond to your employees’ most pressing mental health needs.

As business leaders look toward the future, one thing is sure—employees want mental health and well-being support to be a pillar in the U.S. Workforce and at their place of employment.
Implementing an employee mental health program gives employees the tools necessary to manage their emotions and stress effectively. When you equip employees with well-being skills and coping mechanisms, they can better manage their work and personal lives.
