We are living in times of considerable uncertainty with mental health and well-being issues becoming a growing concern in the workplace. McKinsey surveyed 1000 employers and found that 90% reported the COVID-19 pandemic crisis was affecting the behavioural health – and often the productivity – of their workforce. A poll by the Pew Research Center taken in February 2021 found that 21% of American adults reported high levels of psychological distress related to the pandemic and over 60% felt nervous, anxious or on edge, with trouble sleeping in the previous week some or most of the time.
Forbes has predicted the following post-pandemic trends for 2021:
– Remote working will be the norm.
– Employee mental health will be a priority.
– There will be a shift in adopting healthy lifestyle changes.
