Abstract
Mental health in the workplace is gaining increasing attention from employers, policy makers and politicians. Since the average economically active person spends a large amount of waking time working, it should be no surprise that our work contributes to our mental health. For example, people on low incomes are up to three times more likely to suffer with anxiety and depression. More recently, research has shown that exposure to Covid-19 in work led to a higher risk of anxiety and depression in essential frontline workers.
