Read time: <1 minute

We’re excited to announce the launch of our new report – Mind the gap: Mental health disparities between men and women at work. This report looks at how men and women experience mental health issues differently in the workplace.

Key highlights

• Women often keep emotions inside, which can lead to more depression and anxiety
• Men tend to show emotions outwardly, which can lead to more substance abuse
• Depression in men might be missed because it looks different, and men are less likely to ask for help
• Brain differences and society's expectations play a role in these mental health differences
• Significant increases in mood and anxiety disorders among young women
• Decrease in alcohol disorders among young men

Download and share the report with your Clients. Understanding these differences can help employers create a better work environment for everyone.
