Mental wellness plays a pivotal role in the strength of a company and its employees' health. Prior to the pandemic, one in ten U.S. adults showed symptoms of anxiety or depression. Fast forward to today and that number has increased to four in ten. With more than 164 million individuals in the U.S. workforce, companies have the unique opportunity to serve as an incredible support system by fostering a culture of wellness within their organization. In 2021, one year into the pandemic, 77 percent of employers stated that mental wellbeing was a top priority for their company.
For employees, this is great news.
