Research by Vitality indicates that Gen Z and young millennials in the UK lose the equivalent of a day's work weekly due to mental health struggles, reflecting the urgent need for proper support.
Analysis revealed that younger workers, particularly those under 30, miss an average of 60 productive days per year as they deal with mental health challenges combined with inadequate employer support.
The findings show a significant disparity in productivity loss: while physical health issues decrease productivity by 54%, mental health struggles lead to a staggering 150% reduction in productive days.
Only 25% of employees use the mental wellness tools offered by companies, suggesting either a lack of awareness or fear among workers to seek help, despite 85% finding the tools helpful.
