The Challenge
The tech industry is facing significant mentalhealth challenges related to burnout, a phenomenonresulting from chronic workplace stress that hasn’tbeen successfully managed. Exhaustion, selfinefficacy, cynicism, and depersonalization arethe key indicators to watch for.
The State of Burnout in Tech 2022 shows that:
- 46% of female employees are reporting high stress compared to 38.2% of males
- 2 in 5 workers show a high risk of burnout
EAPs are often underutilized at tech companies, due to perceived stigma around mental health or a lack of awareness around available support.
Left unaddressed, burnout can lead to increased turnover, reduced productivity, and absenteeism. It can also be a precursor to a myriad of stress-related illnesses, including cardiovascular disease, weakened immunity, and chronic fatigue. Mentally, it can cause depression, anxiety, and cognitive difficulties, like impaired attention and memory.To address these issues, forward-thinking tech companies are implementing proven, personalized employee mental health solutions

I've dealt with depression and anxiety for most of my life. My Spring Health therapist has helped me navigate these issues and process them.
