The disruptions caused by coronavirus have now dragged on for months, and despite some efforts to reopen and resume pre-pandemic life, a true return to normalcy is still far in the future.
These challenges have continued to place immense strain on mental health. Employees have seen a 64% increase in feelings of depression and a 47% increase in anxiety levels since February, according to a May mental health index developed by Total Brain that is being shared to employers by the National Alliance of Healthcare Purchaser Coalitions and One Mind at Work. The index also found that productivity and work performance have suffered since the start of the pandemic.
