HALF OF PEOPLE aged between 18 and 24 have said that a mental health issue has affected their work ethic at some stage of their career, according to a new survey.

Despite this, however, almost half (49%) of people in this age group said that they would feel uncomfortable ringing in sick to work if they had a mental health issue.

Across all age groups, 35% of employees said that a mental health issue had affected their work ethic, while 40% would not ring in sick because of their mental health.
