Overall, both Black and H/L respondents were less satisfied with workplace support for mental health than were the other two groups. Consider:

Only 36% of Black U.S workers currently feel comfortable talking to their coworkers about their mental health. However, that represents an increase from 29% in last year's survey.
Meantime, the percentage of H/L workers who said they would be comfortable talking to coworkers fell from 36% last year to 32% this year.
Among white workers, the comfort level also fell, to 43% this year from last year's 48%.
AAPIs recorded the largest increase in willingness to share, up to 46% from 35%.
Less than half (41%) of Black workers feel that their company has an open and inclusive work environment that encourages a dialogue around mental health. All other groups reported a higher confidence level, with AAPIs enthusiasm the highest at 55%.
The largest disparity occurred when respondents were asked if company leadership supported them with empathy and interest in their personal lives. Sixty-four percent of white workers answered 'yes' to that and just 38% of Black workers agreed that the statement matched their experience.
