Abstract

Abstract Mental health illness within the workplace is a growing concern nationwide. However, few studies assess behavioral factors associated with help-seeking behavior, such as employee-to-employer disclosure and perceptions of support. Moreover, currently, no studies investigate help-seeking behavior among United States technology industry employees. We employed a population health analysis in understanding technology employee perceptions of workplace support related to help-seeking behavior for mental health from 2017 to 2019. Our findings indicate that disclosing to an employer was significantly associated with help-seeking behavior (aOR = 4.0, 95% CI: 2.6, 6.1), implying that emphasis is placed on employee-centered behavior for help-seeking and mental health.
