Abstract
More than a third of graduating college seniors are prioritizing companies with mental health benefits during their job search, media company Tech.co reported on April 25. Nine out of 10 students in the 2023 graduating class have said they believe that employers should offer mental and emotional health benefits according to a recent survey from the student‐focused virtual clinic platform, TimelyCare. Flexibility within workplace environments and work hours were also high on the list of preferences. According to the survey, “92% of graduating students interested in mental health awareness in the workplace is a high number, and looks like the clearest evidence yet that we're seeing a generational shift towards tackling health needs in all their complexity,” survey authors stated. Presumably, plenty of them have already found companies that offer the benefits they need: As of early April, 59% of seniors say they've landed a job prior to graduating, a percentage that's down only a tad from the same survey in 2022, when it reached 62%. The survey also found that 36% of graduates will turn first to companies that offer mental health benefits when seeking a job.
