LISTEN: In this week’s We’re Still Here podcast, EG editor Samantha McClary is joined by reporter Lucy Alderson to talk about the findings from EG’s latest mental health survey.
The real estate industry remains one of the most affected by mental health issues, with half of respondents saying they had experienced unmanageable stress and/or mental health problems in their current role – a figure well above the national average of one in six.
The pandemic has understandably had an impact too, with more than 50% of respondents saying they thought that working from home had negatively affected their mental health. Stress around job security, finances and feelings of isolation were also highlighted as specific issues this year.
