Let's talk about mental health.

| View on Web |

This month, we're talking about mental health. We highlight online workshops and webinars held this month, and offer tips on how to look after your mental well-being while working from home.

Working online usually implies working from home. As a somewhat new form of doing work, it has its benefits and drawbacks. For instance, the first benefit that comes to mind is saving precious time while commuting.

But, working from home can affect both our mental and physical health in a negative way, that is if we’re not mindful enough. After the transition to working from home has been speeded up by the coronavirus outbreak, we can now clearly see the effects it has on us.

So, we did our best to compile a list of tips for holding onto your sanity and productivity when working from home.

Even before the additional stressors brought about by the pandemic, 1 in 6 people in the UK are found to have had a mental health problem according to the Adult Psychiatric Morbidity Survey 2014. Meanwhile, Deloitte estimates that poor mental health costs UK employers a staggering £42 - 45 bn each year.
