2022 NOV 29 (NewsRx) -- By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at CDC & FDA Daily -- Due to continued COVID-19 concerns, a sluggish economy and the fear of a potential recession, there is a critical need for mental health care and resources to support employees, according to the nationally representative 12th annual Aflac WorkForces Report. The study - released by Aflac Incorporated, a leading provider of supplemental health insurance and products in the U.S. - captures trends and attitudes about the state of workplace benefits.

According to the newly released report, more than half (59%) of American workers are experiencing at least moderate levels of burnout, a notable increase over 2021 (52%) and on par with the levels reported in 2020 at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, according to the 2022-2023 Aflac WorkForces Report.
