For years, financial institutions have been struggling with the detrimental realities of long hours, high pressure, and a highly competitive climate. The declining mental health of employees in this sector is also being fueled by:
- Burnout. The consistent pressure to perform paired with a fast-paced environment can affect both individual wellbeing and organizational stability, leading to employee turnover.
- Stigma. Discussing mental health in the workplace is often considered taboo in this industry. Many employees think openly discussing their mental health will damage their careers and opportunity for advancement.
