AXA Mind Health Report: Employees are three times more likely to thrive if they work in a company that offers mental health support

Over the past year, the rate of participants with poor mental health has decreased by three points (13% compared to 16%), despite the difficult geopolitical and economic context.

One in two respondents felt happy and confident about the future. The happiest people are in Mexico (64%), the Philippines (62%) and Thailand (61%). On the contrary, this feeling is lowest in Italy (36%), Hong Kong (38%) and Turkey (42%). In France, the feeling of happiness has increased by 5% compared to last year (44% against 39%).

This year's survey shows three main trends:

• 24% fewer women than men feel fulfilled. 40% feel that their skills have been questioned simply because of their gender
• More than one in three 18-24 year olds believe that addiction to technology and social networking has a negative impact on well-being
• Employees are three times more likely to thrive if they work in a company that offers mental health support
