Given the continued instability in both workplaces and in the world as a whole, employees are facing more frequent challenges to their mental health. According to the Headspace Workforce State of Mind 2024 report, 9 out of 10 CEOs are concerned about employee mental strength to respond to a changing business environment and half of HR leaders say that mental health absenteeism is increasing.
A preventative approach to tackling workplace stress and burnout isn’t just an act of goodwill towards employees - it’s a strategic decision that can yield substantial business benefits.
