Headspace report: workforce attitudes toward mental health

This fifth annual report from Headspace considers what’s driving dread for employees at work, how DEIB programmes are impacting teams today, and strategies to support HR leaders with increasing workloads and responsibilities.

In the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic, more employers have recognised the value of mental health in the workplace. With increased access to mental health benefits and more open conversations about workplace mental health, employees and CEOs alike have seen a measurable improvement in their overall wellbeing, both at work and at home.

Yet, employees and leaders report that they regularly feel a sense of dread at work. Continuing challenges like economic uncertainty, a rise in global conflicts, and inequities toward marginalised communities pose a threat to workplace mental health. By taking action today to destigmatise mental health and support employees, employers can take meaningful steps toward creating a healthier workplace.

Headspace’s 2023 report into workforce attitudes toward mental health explores:

  • what’s driving a sense of dread for employees, HR leaders, and CEOs at work
  • the positive impact of diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging efforts on employee mental health, and next steps
  • what companies can do to support their HR leaders, who are under increasing pressure
  • how CEOs can better communicate and model their commitment to workplace mental health.
