A concerning challenge for business women is growing.
Women in business face many challenges, but this one is the most concerning – workplace mental health, wellness, and burnout.
According to Kristin Durney, co-founder of Mental Wellness Unleashed, "The level of burnout we are experiencing as a culture — women especially — has become the number one issue affecting productivity in the workplace. It affects our ability to be resilient, perform self-care and be open about our challenges to get the support we need."
Some jarring facts you should know:
🤯 An estimated 43% of women leaders feel burned out, compared to only 31% of men who are at the same level.
🤯 Black women leaders are more ambitious, but less supported at work, ranking near last in experiencing sponsorship, allyship, and psychological safety at work.
