Working from home can be a boon or bane, but it comes with increasing risks of burnout, poor work-life balance and isolation from colleagues. Employers cannot afford to ignore the wellbeing of employees – particularly Gen Zs – influencing their level of productivity, which in turn impacts on profitability to make a strong business case for mental health in the workplace.
Many families are experiencing escalating tension due to spending either too much or too little time with each other during the pandemic. Many children are overwhelmed experiencing their own stressors related to online schooling, isolation from friends and lack of physical activities, while bearing the brunt of challenges like job insecurity and martial conflict affecting their parents.
