Female Demographic in United Kingdom
The leading cause of stress among females in the United Kingdom is often related to work-life balance, which includes job-related stressors such as workload, job security, and workplace relationships. Additionally, societal pressures regarding family responsibilities and financial concerns can contribute significantly to stress levels. To address these issues, offering resources like October's digital group sessions and mental health assessments can be beneficial for employees.
