WFH bad for Mental Health: Study

Published on: October 24, 2024 - Is Working From home harmful to mental health? Is working from office better for mental well being? Well, that’s what the findings of a recent study say. The 'Work Culture & Mental Wellbeing' study, carried out by US-based mind research organisation Sapiens Labs, surveyed 54,831 employed individuals across 65 countries this year. This survey had a sizeable chunk of over 5000 respondents from India. The study measured their levels of well being using a tool called ‘Mental health quotient’, which measures 47 different aspects of mental health and calculates an overall score for mental well being. The highest mental health quotient belonged to those who work fully in person in an office.
