After more than two years, we’d like to be done with COVID, but unfortunately, COVID isn’t done with us. Millions of people still suffer from chronic stress, fear, grief, isolation, prolonged exhaustion, long-haul symptoms, and mental health disorders brought on or exacerbated by the pandemic.
If we don’t proactively work to mitigate the long-term mental health impact the pandemic is having on our workplaces, we’ll continue to see increased distress, burnout, turnover, and leaves of absence.
