With the holiday season almost here, the “most wonderful time of the year” can also be stressful. Addressing mental well-being has always proved a challenge for businesses, but it can feel particularly pointed during the holidays.
An American Psychological Association survey found that 38% of people said their stress level increased during the holidays due to factors such as lack of time and money and family gatherings. With 56% of respondents experiencing the highest amount of stress while at work, the workplace isn’t immune to the holiday blues, and the levels of employee support are expected to increase around this time of year.
