Mercer conducted their Health On Demand survey in order to get a better grasp on how the pandemic and recovery have affected employees - specifically with regard to both physical and mental health, as well as their lives in general.

Some of the interesting findings include that 1 out of 10 respondents lost a relative or close friend to COVID and nearly 1 in 4 respondents are financially in a less good position than they were before the pandemic struck. 

Further, 1 out of 5 respondents experiences more feelings of loneliness and isolation now than they remember experiencing prior to the pandemic, and almost 15% believe that their work and life balance has shifted in the wrong direction.
