Many must be able to combine their work and the guidance in the schoolwork of their children. 50% of Belgian employees suffers from more anxiety and depressed feelings. Many are under pressure, have sleep problems  and have an unhappy feeling. In addition, singles  have a hard time with the loneliness due to the lockdown. In short: many people have a mental dip.

Fear of the unknown and unpredictable

The longer people are away from work, the greater the fear of returning. We are now used to the lockdown and working from home. Having to go back to work disturbs that balance. Fear of the unknown: how will it go there?
