10 Companies With The Best Mental Health Support

Turbulent events dominating the last few years have rocked companies and their employees. A climate crisis, geopolitical upheaval, and high inflation rates have placed immense pressure on people's lives and the workplace. 

A recent survey by Lyra Health found that employee mental health continues to be a cause for concern. The survey found that 44% of the global workforce in 2025 feel stress is the largest challenge to their mental health.

One in five adults have experienced a mental health issue in the US. Mental health issues can lead to lower productivity and higher absences. This means it’s in employers’ interests to make mental health a priority, particularly given that the survey also found that 73% of global respondents said work-related mental health struggles hurt their job performance.

There’s still a long way to go, but many companies are taking measures to elevate the mental health of their employees. 

In its 2025 roundup of America's Greatest Workplaces For Mental Well-Being, Newsweek shared research showings that 'organizations prioritizing mental wellbeing see higher engagement, lower turnover, and improved productivity, clear indicators that a strong workplace culture goes hand in hand with success.'

So, here are 10 of the best companies for mental health support, and the initiatives they are implementing today.
