The Long-Term Effects of Mental Health in a Pandemic
As we head into 2021 with the global pandemic still having a huge impact on business and our everyday lives, we’re starting to see more and more the mental health toll of COVID-19. From the low-lying anxiety created by the illness itself, to the social isolation of lockdown, and even work-from-home blues as the novelty of remote working wears off – people are struggling.
The information presented will help inform businesses how they support their employees and best succeed through the challenging social and economic times brought on by the pandemic.
Our panel will explore the impact COVID-19 has had on mental health, share their experiences and what they've learned over the past year navigating a pandemic and offer solutions and resources for employers to support the mental health of their staff.
