“Not acknowledging that millions are dealing with mental health conditions is costing an enormous amount both in terms of dollars and cents and, more importantly, people's lives."
Arianna Huffington
Mental Health at Work Mini-Conference, May 2018
"I personally would like to thank Mind Share Partners for all of your support of this ERG and community from the very beginning when we were unsure, driven, and quite a bit scared on launching something that would make us so vulnerable. You provided resources and insight that gave us direction, hope, and reminded us that what we were creating would matter to our peers. To which, you were right. I'm thankful for Mind Share Partners, what you stand for and all that you're creating in this new area of diversity, inclusion, and belonging."
"After the Mind Share Partners conference, we created our own Mental Health Fund, since our health insurance excludes it, and talked about it so our team knew we had their back and they'd be covered for emergency care for suicidal thoughts, etc.
It's a start. Stigma runs deep. It's good that [Mind Share Partners] is helping workplaces talk about it!"

Three-quarters of full-time U.S. workers reported experiencing at least one symptom of a mental health condition in the past year, and over a third of symptoms cumulatively lasted five months to an entire year.
HIGHLIGHTS
Workplace mental health is at a catalytic point in time—the stakes have been raised.
2020’s events and beyond have sparked, if not demanded, a shared empathy for mental health and a collective realization of the urgent need to support mental health at work moving forward.
Mind Share Partners 2021 Mental Health at Work Report in partnership with Qualtrics and ServiceNow explores the lived experience of mental health, stigma, and work culture in U.S. workplaces amidst the pandemic, ongoing racial injustices, return to office, and more.
The report is a follow-on study using the same metrics from our 2019 Mental Health At Work Report. This enables a rare pre- and post-pandemic comparison with additional questions and segmentations pertaining to world-shifting events.
The future of workplace mental health is culture change—with an eye towards DEI and sustainable ways of working. As we look to the future, workers—especially Millennials and Gen Z–are demanding true investment in organizational culture change for workplace mental health. The findings of this study will help organizations, leaders, teams, managers, and individual employees alike deepen both their understanding and inform their strategy and investment in mentally healthy cultures for all.

Commitment to DEI + Mental Health
Mind Share Partners remains committed to advocating for the mental health of historically underrepresented and disenfranchised communities. Many of these populations face unique challenges when it comes to workplace mental health, have been disproportionately impacted by the global pandemic and ongoing racial injustices, and even still continue to be underrepresented in the workplace and in research. Their voices are an indispensable part of the dialogue around workplace mental health and critical to making lasting and inclusive change in the broader movement.
Just as we did in our 2019 study, our 2021 follow-on study includes statistically significant sample sizes for demographic groups across gender identity, racial and ethnic communities, generational divides, the LGBTQ+ community, and more. Throughout the report, we summarize key demographic differences and trends across our study outcomes.
