Overworked, overwhelmed, and at a breaking point – modern workers are struggling to balance their mental health with the demands of the workplace. Headlines about burnout and ‘quiet quitting’ reflect a work force desperate for change.
According to a study conducted by consultancy firm BCG, half of all young professionals reported needing help for mental health problems. The Mental Health Commission of Canada says that 70 per cent of Canadian employees are concerned about the mental health and safety of their workplace, while 14 per cent don’t think their workplaces are healthy or safe. HR firm Robert Half found that 42 per cent of Canadian professionals reported feeling burnt out.
