In recent years, mental health and wellness in the workplace have become increasingly important as employees focus more on work-life balance. Businesses have taken note and remain focused on removing the stigma from discussions surrounding mental wellness so that employees feel empowered to speak up and prioritize their mental health.

According to Mind Share Partners' study conducted from 2019 to 2021, "Workers grew more comfortable talking about mental health and developed healthier beliefs about it and those with mental health conditions." While the results indicated a reduction in mental health stigma in those two years, the progress to date tells a different story. Mind Share Partners' 2023 study actually showed workers' comfort talking about mental health at work declined from 37% to 19%.
