Apparently so according to an article I was reading from Business Advice UK this morning.
They were reporting on the results of a survey released by Westfield Health marking the end of mental health awareness week.
I was aware of that awareness raising event but not that Friday was national work from home day (probably because I already do)
Anyway take a look at the Business Advice article HERE if you’re interested
In short it shows that 40 % of UK employees feel that work has a detrimental effect on their mental
health - work at “The office” that is. It’s interesting reading.
The newsletter also quoted a survey by Insurance giant Aviva about how more and more people are becoming entrepreneurs later in life.
Of those taking part 40%were planning to keep working after retirement and half of those were planning to
start a business …… at 65
That’s because it’s so easy to do so now from home - thanks mainly to the internet.
Anyway hope you enjoy the article if you read it and in fact the Business Advice newsletter is worth getting too - full of insights and solid business
information.
Cheers!
