A worrying 56% of those who’ve been furloughed say their mental health has got worse
The impact that furlough has had on employees
From a word that few people had heard of to an everyday part of conversation, furlough has been one of the major topics and sources of debate throughout the coronavirus outbreak. Beyond causing financial and administrative
tangles for governments and businesses alike, research from Westfield Health has also shown that furlough has been one of the main causes of tensions between colleagues. Westfield Health’s Divided Together report
asked 1,500 people how the outbreak has impacted their wellbeing and how they’re feeling at work.
The true impact of furlough Though envious colleagues may think being on furlough is easy, the truth is very different with those on furlough feeling the impact on their mental and physical health. A worrying 56% of those who’ve been furloughed say their mental health has got worse, including 14% who say it’s got much worse.
Almost half (47%) pointed to spending more
time on their own as a key factor behind their worsening mental health. It’s also had an impact on physical health.
Those on furlough were the most likely to say their physical health had got worse (38%). A lack of exercise (64%) and missing their usual routine (70%) were key factors. Being aware of the impact that furlough has
had on employees and the tensions it’s caused with those who’ve still been working will be key to creating a return to work strategy that helps bring teams back together and get back to productivity quickly.
