Survey Finds Employees Hesitant to Disclose Mental Health Issues at Work
Surveys of Indian jobseekers reveal growing openness to discussing mental health at work, yet many fear career repercussions. About one-third worry that disclosing mental health issues could harm their opportunities, while others doubt colleagues' support. Poor work-life balance, heavy workloads, and lack of managerial support are key stressors. Despite increased awareness, many employees hesitate to label leave as mental health-related, reflecting ongoing stigma and workplace challenges around well-being.
