Stressed home workers are struggling to switch off during COVID-19 lockdown and it’s impacting their mental health, according to the findings of a new study by cloud communications platform provider, 8×8.
Almost half (42%) feel more stressed and overwhelmed than when in the office, blaming too many apps, a blurring of the lines between work and home life and difficulty unplugging.
The research, which surveyed 1,000 people working full-time from home since the pandemic hit, raises concerns about the mental state of the workforce as the country enters month three of enforced WFH. It also highlights the continuing need for employers to ensure staff at risk of burnout are properly supported.
