Before You Quit Your Job For Your Mental Health…

Written by

It happens. You’ve probably considered it yourself. More and more people are on the verge of quitting their jobs because they believe it’s the only way to protect their wellbeing.

Despite the wave of posts from companies promoting their support for World Mental Health Day (October 10th), the reality is that for many workers, these efforts feel more like box-ticking exercises. The statistics show things are getting worse, not better. Take Deloitte’s 2023 Well-Being at Work Survey, for example—60% of employees, 64% of managers, and a staggering 75% of the C-suite are seriously thinking about leaving their jobs for roles that better support their mental health. These figures have surged, reflecting a growing awareness of how work environments are impacting people’s well-being.

The Toxic Workplace: Why Wellbeing Programs Alone Fall Short

A critical insight from Deloitte’s survey sheds light on why so many people feel the need to escape their work environments. It’s not simply a lack of well-being programs in companies; it’s that managers feel unequipped to support their staff due to obstacles beyond their control. Seventy percent of managers cite factors such as rigid company policies, overwhelming workloads, and a toxic workplace culture as barriers to employee well-being.

This creates a frustrating cycle. Employees need well-being solutions, but the very culture of the workplace prevents these solutions from being effective. As a result, people feel they have no choice but to leave.

But here’s the reality: not everyone can just up and quit. As liberating as that sounds, it’s not always a viable solution. For many, quitting would bring new challenges, particularly financial stress, leaving people trapped in an endless cycle of burnout, frustration, and exhaustion.

So, if leaving your job isn’t the answer, what is?
