A survey conducted by Deloitte in association with Mind last summer revealed that 71% of Channel Islanders said they would be uncomfortable talking to their employer about mental health concerns compared with 66% of UK employees.
There was little notable difference when comparing the statistics between Guernsey and Jersey.
The results of the survey, the first of its kind across the Bailiwicks, will feed into the mental heath charity’s Mindful Employment Programme for this year.
Guernsey Mind executive director Emily Litten pointed to the island’s lack of equality and discrimination laws in the workplace as a possible contributing factor for the results.
