Mental health for (home)workers

World Mental Health Day is on 10 October this year and to chime with that, we surveyed almost 30 countries to find out about two related risks for long term remote workers: the risk of feelings of isolation and the risk that it becomes hard to disconnect from work – either because the distinction between work and home is not clear, or because some supervisors may expect people to work after normal hours.

With vast numbers of people now working from home on a more or less long term basis, it’s crucially important for employers to understand the health & safety rules – and not just for the physical aspects of home working, but the psychological ones too.  Select a country below to find out the rules in different countries.
