The Covid pandemic and the rise of digital and remote working has left people suffering from higher rates of stress and burnout.
That’s according to Fine Gael MEP Maria Walsh who authored a European Parliament report on mental health in the digital workplace. MEPs this week voted for a resolution demanding preventive measures against technostress and over-connection causing mental health issues.
