3. Employees with anxiety were also less likely to say their manager understands their work style or makes them feel safe and included.
4. Although 8 in 10 workers with anxiety can identify accommodations that would improve their performance, fewer than 2 in 10 have requested them. Among workers with anxiety, Gen Z employees are the least likely to feel comfortable requesting accommodations.
5. The most desired accommodations include flexible work hours, the ability to work from home, uninterrupted work time, private workspaces and designated quiet areas.
