The pandemic has taken a huge toll on our collective mental well-being. New data shows that not only has employee mental health suffered, but employees are afraid to discuss those effects with their bosses. And that will have serious consequences for companies and their leaders.

Now, employees did share their concerns about their declining mental health, just not with their bosses or HR. According to 35% of employees who discussed their mental health concerns, they discussed their issues with coworkers. Only 21% discussed mental health with a supervisor, and just 5% said they spoke with an HR representative.

Let's be honest for a moment; in the past few months, have you felt a bit more anxious about your career than you were six months ago? Have you felt a bit less productive than you were six months ago? Have you felt, even a little bit, more irritable than you were six months ago? The Paychex data also found that nearly half of employees reported worsening mental health, motivation, morale, productivity and stress since the pandemic outbreak.

Why would I want to discuss my mental health with my boss? Would I discuss my irritable bowel with them?Mental health is your responsibility, same as physical. Ask for the time you need, use your sick days, and keep your life private. You can’t change how others will perceive you

That's a fair statement.

I can definitely understand why. However the ones who do discuss it should have support. That will show the person who they are actually working for at that point.

I believe this. A lot of people are struggling working from home because they loved the work place environment and for whatever reason they are not adjusting to new requirements.
