Heavy workloads are a major variable for mental health, The Drum’s mental health survey found
A mental health survey of marketers and agency workers conducted by The Drum has found that a majority of staff say their mental health has got worse during the pandemic, and that demanding workloads are a major factor in their mental wellbeing. Most alarming of all, almost half say their employers offer no mental health support.
It’s clear that, with client demands unlikely to decrease as the UK and US economies look forward to recovery, industry leaders need to do – and communicate – more to offset the impact on staff mental health.
