Over a third say working from home has negatively affected their health in Scottish survey
SIGNIFICANT numbers of people working from home in Scotland have found their jobs more intense and stressful over the past year, according to a groundbreaking new report for the Scottish Trades Union Congress (STUC).
In a survey of more than 3,000 workers, over a third felt that their health had worsened as a consequence of working from home, with just over a quarter reporting the opposite.
A significant proportion of respondents hoped not to work full-time from home following the pandemic, while just under a third said that they would not like to return to the office at all.
