In 2016, The Wall Street Journal reported that Indian millennials spend more time at work than many of their counterparts, averaging to around 52 hours a week. This has further been heightened during the pandemic, where work hours are stretched, boundaries are broken and the concept of weekends has minimized. As a result, the fast paced and stressful workplace restarting after the lockdown has only intensified leading employees to struggle with work related stress and personal issues.
In the last 8 months, I have had more clients seek help on how to cope with workplace stress than ever before. Often when asked to describe their work environment, common responses have been “stressful”, “overworked”, and “chaotic”.
Several organizations have therefore taken the initiative of organizing mental health webinars and other campaigns.
