SINGAPORE, April 21 — The Covid-19 pandemic has taken a significant toll on the mental health of workers here, with seven in 10 employees reporting that they felt stressed on some level in the past six months, a survey has found.

It also found that more than 60 per cent of employers in Singapore reported feeling stressed on some level in the past six months over the impact of the pandemic.

The survey, which looked at how the pandemic has impacted business owners and employees across those five countries, was conducted by human resource software company Employment Hero.

It released its findings yesterday after surveying a total of 1,000 respondents in Singapore — comprising 500 employees and 500 employers — in March this year.

In total, across the five countries, it surveyed 3,037 employees and 2,679 employers.

The findings from Singapore were the highest compared to those in four other countries.
