WorkScores research identified three key areas that are impacting mens wellbeing at work.

An unhealthy mindsetIt appears that the stress of the modern workplace is having a significant impact on the mental wellbeing of male workers. Among those we surveyed, close to half are very stressed out and depressed most days. Also, 52% frequently felt anxious, with the highest rate of anxiety being among those between the ages of 25 to 34 years old. A further 10% of men do not feel that they can deal with life challenges, and 20% rate their work-life balance as very poor.

Poor sleep habitsOn average, men only sleep for about six hours per night, which is less than the recommended seven to nine hours. Disturbingly though, 40% of them report having poor-quality sleep. Improving sleep time and quality is vital for male wellbeing; the WorkScore data shows that those who slept more, experienced less stress and were less depressed, and those who rated their sleep as high-quality experienced close to 20% less stress at work.

Struggles with diet and exerciseAlthough men rated themselves highly for fitness, the WorkScore research found that men are not getting the recommended amount of activity. Highlights from the research show:

Men aged between 25 to 34 years get only 19 minutes a day of exercise
