We often hear from leaders that you're unsure of your legal responsibilities when it comes to mental health in the workplace.

Stress, worry, sadness, anger and other emotions are all a normal part of life. However, when these feelings run high for extended periods, they can be overwhelming and interfere with a person’s ability to carry out everyday tasks.

Our latest research with Hologic finds that around the world, about four in 10 women experienced worry and stress during a lot of the previous day, three in 10 experienced sadness and one in four experienced anger. These emotions were rising before 2020, but the pandemic exacerbated them — exacting an even bigger toll on women’s health. Furthermore, women are much more likely than men to feel these negative emotions.
