Healio (9/23) reports that according to a Sept. 22 press release (9/22) from the “online behavioral healthcare company” Talkspace, responses from “a nationwide survey showed most employees who were considering leaving their jobs felt their employer had not properly focused on mental health during the COVID-19 pandemic.” The company “partnered with The Harris Poll to conduct the survey of 1,015 full-time employed adults aged 18 years or older in the U.S. between July 29 and Aug. 2.” The survey revealed that 67% “of participants considering leaving their job felt their employer had not met early pandemic promises to emphasize employee mental health, with 68% endorsing the statement, ‘My employer [said] employees should focus on ‘self-care’ but doesn’t provide the resources to do so.’”
