Research conducted by Cigna Healthcare’s international business found that rising energy prices and food bills, coupled with sluggish wage growth and economic uncertainty, are putting pressure on workers’ mental and physical health.
Fifty-four per cent of UK respondents said staying healthy is becoming “too expensive”, with nearly 90% experiencing increased costs for basic foods, household essentials and energy bills.
One in 10 said healthcare was their top concern, but economic and inflationary concerns were seen as more pressing by many.
