INVESTIGATION: MENTAL HEALTH & THE WORKPLACE

Men's Health, November 2019

Stress and burnout are rampant among the UK’s workforce, but outdated attitudes are causing too many of us to feel uneasy about admitting that we are struggling.

​

I spoke to men across Britain from a broad range of industries to reveal the unspoken truths about our relationships with our careers and our mental well-being, as well as anonymously surveying 1,200 Men's Health readers.

​

I believe the term “work-life balance” is misleading. Our work is a part of our life. A big part. It is not something to be endured. At best, our work should provide us with joy and satisfaction. At the very least, it should not be a cause of harm.
