Survey: Compensation is the Top Factor of Work-Related Stress in 2023

May is Mental Health Awareness Month and a new multi-year study found that discussing mental health in the workplace is still a taboo topic for some employees.

While many companies realize this, are they doing enough to support their employees?

JobSage surveyed more than 1,000 Americans to find out.

Key findings:

• Mental health has prompted 41% of Americans to consider quitting their job.

• An increased number of employees wish they had more mental health support from their employer: Neary half (49%) say their company doesn’t do enough to support their mental health in 2023, and in 2022 that number was only 20%.

• Over half of Americans have taken a mental health day, but 48% didn’t tell anyone it was a mental health day.

• The stigma around mental health prevents 22% (1 in 5) from discussing it at work.

Take a look at the full report and let me know if you can use any of the data for a story for mental health awareness month.

Thanks,
