🔍 What’s Going On?
In a recent Business Insider report, TikTok employees in the U.S. revealed a troubling reality: burnout is rampant, and many are taking extended mental health leaves just to cope.
Amid high-pressure performance evaluations and a “succeed-or-get-out” culture, stress levels have skyrocketed. At one point, nearly 1 in 5 employees on some teams were on mental health leave lasting 2–3 months.
👉 Let that sink in: 20% of a team was out — not because they didn’t care, but because they cared too much, for too long, without enough support.
🧠 What This Means for Your Workplace
This isn’t just a TikTok problem — it’s a global one. A recent AllOne Health survey shows:
- 71% of EAP (Employee Assistance Program) referrals are for mental health.
- Only 12% of employees actually use their company’s EAP — many don’t know how or feel awkward asking for help.
- Employers are scrambling to offer more than outdated brochures and 1-800 numbers.
It’s time to modernize how we think about EAPs and employee mental health — for everyone in the workplace.
✅ So, What’s the Solution?
Companies like AT&T are evolving beyond traditional EAPs to offer comprehensive, easy-to-access, stigma-free support. More than 78% of business leaders say they’ll increase their mental health budgets in 2025, focusing on:
- 🧬 Personalized support
- 🤖 AI-powered tools
- 🔄 Proactive, preventative strategies
We’re finally realizing that mental health isn’t a crisis to respond to — it’s a foundation to build on.
