Uncertainty about return to workplace plans have contributed to declining mental health for Canadians in June.

That’s according to LifeWorks’ Mental Health Index, in which a quarter of respondents stated they were unclear about their employer’s plan for work, while another twelve per cent don’t believe that their employer has a plan.

Spokesperson Paula Allen says while the overall mental health of Manitobans has improved, they’ve also had the most tumultuous scores in the past year compared to the rest of the country.

Allen adds vaccination status did have an impact in the report, as those who reported being partially vaccinated had more favourable mental health scores than those who haven’t been vaccinated.
