New York Companies around the globe have work to do to improve worker satisfaction because only three in ten employees say their workplace is psychologically safe and healthy, according to a new poll.

Whether it is due to stress, interpersonal conflict, frustration, lack of feedback or promotion, 27 per cent of workers in 24 countries said they are not happy with the psychological aspects of their work environment, the survey by research company Ipsos for Reuters showed. "Employers need to pay attention to their employees' mental health, not just their physical health," said Alexandra Evershed, senior vice president, Ipsos Public Affairs. "Three in ten is still a fairly large proportion and that goes up to 44 per cent and 43 per cent in Argentina and Mexico and 42 per cent in Hungary."

Nearly half, 47 per cent, of the 14,618 workers polled agreed their workplace was ‘psychologically safe'.
