Headspace announced the launch of its sixth annual Workforce State of Mind report, revealing new data on the perceptions of CEOs, HR leaders, and workers on mental health. (Graphic: Business Wire)
Since 2020, the number of employees who reported that their company leaders talk openly about their personal mental health has more than doubled – up from only 35% in 2020 to 89% in 2024. While it’s promising that workplace dialogue about mental health has become more commonplace, Headspace’s new research points to work stress as a significant contributor to declining employee health and wellbeing in and outside of work.
“Despite the overwhelmingly negative impact employees experience when work stress seeps into their personal lives, our data shows there’s a clear upside for businesses that prioritize cultural transformation in the workplace and invest in evidence-based, high-quality mental health support for their workers. 97% of the employees we surveyed reported feeling better after using company-provided mental health benefits,” said Karan Singh, COO and Chief People Officer, Headspace. “With access to compassionate, outcomes-driven care, employers can see and measure the difference in employee wellbeing.”
Work stress is driving divorce, parenting pitfalls, and poor physical health.
With managers and HR leaders on the frontlines of the workplace mental health crisis, business success hinges on a deeper investment in mental health and resiliency training as well as cultural transformation.
A sense of community keeps employees engaged and combats the growing loneliness crisis.
“Now, more than ever, it’s crucial for employers to show their employees how valued they are as individuals by offering comprehensive, quality programs that support their mental wellbeing. After launching Headspace’s full suite of offerings to our Regions Bank employees, we are already seeing solid results. Most importantly, Headspace is helping to remove some of the stigma that has existed around mental health,” said Mike Branca, Head of Total Rewards, Regions Bank. “The partnership complements our focus on consistently offering a workplace culture that prioritizes not only the needs of our customers but also the wellbeing of our people who are driving the services we deliver every day.”
