A third of UK workers have a high mental health risk driven by loneliness, a report by healthcare provider Telus Health has found. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The health provider highlighted that workers aged under 40 are 80% more likely to lack trusted workplace relationships, compared to workers over 50.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Workers in the UK without trusted workplace relationships are three and a half times more likely to feel isolated compared to those with trusted relationships, the findings showed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Paula Allen, senior vice-president of research and total wellbeing at Telus Health, told HR <\/em>magazine that a lack of trusted relationships at work can cause employees to feel isolated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n She said: \u201cWithout trust, an individual is more likely to experience anxiety, and there is a lack of social support to manage stress. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThis can lead to increased feelings of loneliness<\/a> and isolation, even with frequent social interaction. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThese factors increase the risk of mental health issues and can also have physical health<\/a> implications due to the strain it creates.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Rebecca Holt, co-founder of Working Mindset, told HR <\/em>magazine that younger employees are less likely to report feeling lonely than older employees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n She said: \u201cThe huge shift in working practices during and following the Covid-19 pandemic changed the whole connection landscape for employees. We all have less opportunity to connect with our colleagues. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cBut this has disproportionately impacted younger workers who want more face-to-face contact. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOlder employees may also be more likely to be open about feelings of loneliness and therefore seek to address this.\u201d<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A third of UK workers have a high mental health risk driven by loneliness, a report by healthcare provider Telus Health has found.
