In the same boat

Recently I went to a conference in London held by Employee Assistance European Forum. The theme of the conference was Resilience, which is of course a hot topic right now. Attendees came from 23 countries from both inside and outside Europe.

In a strange way it was heartening to see that things are tough across the world, and there is a need to be resilient both in work and outside.

What worries me is that this level of relentless pressure and anxiety will become the norm for us all. This has no good outcomes for work, for families and society. The role of mental ill health support will become greater as people buckle.
