  • (1888PressRelease) March 01, 2018 - Bangalore - In the course of 1to1help's work, counselling usage across gender patterns showed that “female employees born post-1990 were twice as likely as the general population to seek to counsel.

    Female millennials have significantly different concerns and a higher risk of suicidal ideation as compared to male millennials. For instance, the white paper states that “stressors which were unique to certain subgroups included women experiencing difficulties managing work and child care, difficulties in meeting expectations of in-laws, conflicts in marriage.”

    Managing director of 1to1help Archana Bisht shared, “female millennials constitute a large percentage of the current workforce. It is important that organisations have specific strategies in place to help those who are vulnerable to mental health concerns and issues. Since 80% of an employee’s waking hour is spent at the workplace, it is important that organisations have specific strategies in place alongside emotional and wellness support.”

    As per Clinical Head of 1to1help Ellen Shinde," the white paper’s finding is a call to action and not merely a new piece of information. By stating this we are not only saying something new but by identifying the most affected group we are also telling companies that now it is possible to identify what the triggers are and take preventive action."
