Study Report: A Global Picture of Mental Health in the Workplace
As awareness around the importance of mental wellbeing increases, so does the need for employers to understand and address the impacts that mental health issues have on work outcomes. Work-related factors may also improve or undermine the mental health of employees.
Our groundbreaking global research study has gathered data from over 12,200 workers across 12 countries and multiple industries and job roles.
