Since the onset of the pandemic, mental health claims by Canadians have increased by 132 per cent, according to a report.
And this is causing employees to lose working hours: 62 per cent of missed workdays can be attributed to poor mental health, with an average of 12 days lost per employee per year, reports GreenShield.
On top of that, 50 per cent of full-time employees have quit their jobs due to mental health reasons, with higher occurrences in millennials (68 per cent) and Gen Z (81 per cent) workers.
