BETTER MENTAL HEALTH<br />
People are happier with this new way of working. Despite the well-publicised pandemic related mental<br />
health concerns, far more people insist their mental health has improved (34% UK, 36% USA), than<br />
worsened (21% UK, 17% USA). The improvements in mental health are even more pronounced in those<br />
aged between 25 and 44, where almost half of individuals have seen an improvement.<br />
Certainly, those who have returned to the office confirm commuting (23% UK, 22% USA) and loss<br />
of flexibility of the working day (20% UK, 18% USA) are primary challenges – especially for<br />
younger people.<br />

The ability to juggle work and family life better are likely playing a key<br />
part in this generation’s preference for a more flexible approach to work.<br />
From walking the lockdown dog, to managing side jobs, and the new or rediscovered joys of taking time<br />
to be outside during the working day. Substantial numbers of individuals now recognise the nonsensical<br />
nature of the old nine to five.<br />
