Around one-quarter (28%) of employees say that their mental health has declined as a result of the Covid-19 (Coronavirus) pandemic, according to research by Wade Macdonald.
The study, which was published this month (January) and surveyed 415 respondents, revealed that 44% of staff are finding working from home much harder
– physically, mentally, and emotionally
– than being in the office.
Furthermore, 31.4% of staff face homeschooling issues while working remotely, while 30.5% have broadband and connectivity problems. In addition, a quarter (24.7%) face IT infrastructure hurdles.
Due to the Coronavirus pandemic, a third (33%) of staff have changed their expectations from their employer. 73% of staff value flexible working, followed by a good pension scheme (38%), a bonus scheme (34%), and healthcare (31%). In addition, 20% of staff value parking as a benefit, followed by 14% who value gym membership.
