Given the turbulent current events and economic uncertainties, many employees have been experiencing anxiety which has caused them to think more about their mental health and productivity. In particular, a recent survey revealed that knowledge workers across the globe, especially black workers and younger workers, have been placing a higher priority on their mental health. As a result of these findings, workers have been reevaluating their work-life balance boundaries and long-term career goals. Organizations are also looking for ways to better support workers' mental health to reduce burnout and address the systemic issue of profit maximization at the cost of the workforces' wellbeing.
