Wellbeing | 2 in 3 workers blame their job for worsening mental health

A recent YouGov survey, commissioned by Mind, suggests that one third of UK-based employees are suffering from increasingly poor mental health as a result of the pandemic.

A total of 36.7% of respondents to the survey claimed that their mental health had decreased when compared with pre-pandemic levels - proof many are struggling with the ever changing ‘new normal’.

In addition to the shocking statistic, it seems that changes in the structure of working life is largely to blame for this mental health crisis.

The data discovered that almost two thirds of those whose mental health has worsened since the beginning of the pandemic, attribute their work-life as responsible.
