KPMG’s fifth annual study examines how stress impacts women in the workplace
June 21, 2023 – According to a recent survey conducted by KPMG LLP, the U.S. audit, tax, and advisory firm, executive women perceive an exponential surge of stress in the workplace compared to pre-pandemic levels. The stress is attributed to increased workload and expectations tied to managing the mental health of their teams in addition to their own.
The annual study considered insights from over 1,500 executive women from leading companies across the United States who are past participants of the KPMG Women's Leadership Summit on mental health in the workplace and the importance of prioritizing well-being.
Key findings:
Stress at work continues to escalate
Executive women prioritize self-care and seek support
Women want more support from employers on mental health and well-being
