Four in 10 British office workers fear their mental health and wellbeing will suffer if they have to spend another six months working from home.
The study of 2,000 employees found 41 per cent already feel more anxious and isolated than ever before, after already spending months cooped up.
Missing out on office banter, feeling unable to communicate properly via video and calls, and finding it challenging to manage the new work-life balance are all factors which contribute to unease and happiness.
And 42 per cent of those polled by Vision Direct have been struggling with their mental health more than usual in recent months.
