That’s the percentage of people who said at least one workplace factor negatively impacts their mental health in a recent study. Some of the factors they called out? Stress, work-life balance, poor communication practices, and minimal support from colleagues. 

Sooo that’s not great. But there are orgs out there (like, say, Eden Health) that can help employers take better care of their employees. Plus help workers understand — and actually use — their benefits. Learn more about Eden Health’s services and their approach for combining primary and mental health care here.

So, theSkimm’s Breaking Down the Buzz on how to spot it. And talking to experts about why even when all the evidence points in one direction, people go the opposite. Check it out here. (It'll come in handy during election season.)
