Summary
The 2025 EBRI Employer Mental Health Survey is based on a survey of about 400 employers of 500 or more employees conducted in February and March 2025. All respondents had held an employee benefits decision-making role for at least six months. The survey sought to better understand the breadth and depth of the mental health benefits being offered, changes in benefits offered, views of employer responsibilities regarding worker physical and mental health, and perceived challenges and opportunities regarding worker engagement, among other topics. Poor mental health in the work force is widely understood to result in lower productivity, higher turnover, and higher health care costs for employers.
