Work by the Numbers<\/a> is a deep-dive into the biggest trends, research, and surveys in the world of work and real estate.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Over the past two years, workers have had to learn to do their jobs and collaborate remotely. Parents became de facto teachers while juggling their work responsibilities<\/a>. As the great resignation<\/a> picked up speed, workloads increased as colleagues left for other opportunities while those who remained were made to pick up the slack. At the same time, a never-ending news cycle of troubling world events, rising inflation, and general uncertainty have had us all on edge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Those extraordinary experiences we all went through have been taking a toll. Stress and burnout are on the rise, and a growing number of people feel that their employers don\u2019t care about their well-being<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Many employees feel like they\u2019re not being heard. Just 24 percent of U.S. workers feel their employer cares about their well-being, according to a February 2022 Gallup survey<\/a> of 15,001 people. That\u2019s the lowest level in almost a decade. Interestingly, that stat peaked at 49 percent in May 2020, up from 29 percent in 2019, before the pandemic. The likely conclusion: Workers were generally satisfied with how their employers handled the initial waves of the pandemic\u2014but those sentiments rapidly faded by 2022. <\/p>\n\n\n\n As companies roll out their hybrid work strategies, it\u2019s important that they understand employee burnout and look for ways to support their employees. For Mental Health Awareness Month, we examine the state of employees’ mental health in the workplace and take a look at what companies are doing to offer support. <\/p>\n\n\n
