Young People Prioritize <br />Their Mental Health in <br />the Workplace, Study Finds A study published in the<br />Harvard Business Review recently<br />took a look at the role of mental<br />health in the workplace. Out of 1,500 adults in the United States, a total<br />of 20 percent reported voluntarily leaving their<br />job in order to prioritize mental health. When broken down by generation,<br />that’s 50 percent of the polled millennials<br />and 75 percent of the Gen Zers. In comparison, less than 10 percent<br />of baby boomers reported the same. The study also found that 86 percent of employees<br />want their company to prioritize mental health. According to the authors of the report, this “shift<br />in generational awareness” signals the efforts by<br />younger generations to de-stigmatize mental health.
