Three years since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, many workers are experiencing increased mental health challenges and have higher expectations of how their employers will support them. 

A new study by MetLife, a U.S.-based insurance and benefits company, found that employees are more likely to experience negative feelings at work such as depression, stress and burnout than they were pre-pandemic. The top causes of poor mental health among employees include financial concerns, stress from reasons outside of work, finding work-life balance and stress from the state of the economy. 

Gen Z employees were among the least happy according to the study, which found that only 62% of the generation said they were happy at work, compared to 67% of boomers.
