The American Psychological Association examined the extent to which employees valued well-being and mental health in their jobs.
An online survey of 2,515 participants was conducted in the U.S. from April 17-27, 2023.
Key findings include:
1.) 92% of workers said it is very (57%) or somewhat (35%) important to them to work for an organization that values their emotional and psychological well-being.
2.) 95% said it is very (61%) or somewhat (34%) important to them to work for an organization that respects the boundaries between work and nonwork time.
3.) 58% of those who reported a toxic workplace also reported that they intend to look for a new job at a different company or organization in the next year, compared with only 27% of those who did not report a toxic workplace.
— 77% of those who reported a toxic workplace also reported that their employer thinks their workplace environment is mentally healthier than it actually is.
4.) 94% of respondents said it is very or somewhat important to them that their workplace be a place where they feel they belong.
