A third of employees working from home due to the global health crisis are concerned about their mental health. That’s according to a new survey conducted by Aetna International that surveyed 4,011 employees and 1,007 employers in the United States, the United Kingdom, Singapore, and the United Arab Emirates. “The pandemic has challenged businesses across the globe in myriad ways, not least of which is to reconsider their leadership, management, and communication policies, along with their approach to employee health and well-being,” Aetna International President Richard di Benedetto said in a press release. “It has also put unparalleled pressures on employees to remain productive while balancing lockdowns, childcare, finances, and concerns around contracting COVID-19.” The study also found that stress and weight gain are among the highest concerns and that 74 percent of those surveyed say that poor mental health has affected their ability to be productive. Many of the employers surveyed feel that a lack of social interaction among colleagues will have a long-term effect on their employees’ mental health. “Forward-thinking organizations are leading with compassion and developing a corporate culture that puts well-being at its center, ensuring employees know what support is available to them, whether that’s locally, at home, or in the palm of their hand,” the report concluded.
