That’s according to LifeWorks’ Mental Health Index in which a quarter of respondents stated they were unclear about their employer’s plan for work while another twelve per cent don’t believe that their employer has a plan.

Spokesperson Paula Allen says while the overall mental health of Manitobans has improved, they’ve also had the most tumultuous scores in the past year compared to the rest of the country.

She explains they have most of the provinces clustering fairly close together but Manitoba is really for lack of a better word volatile in the pattern so they had a really good improvement last July and August and then they had a really sharp decline in the health of Manitobans according to their index in November December and its really been very up and down.

Allen adds vaccination status did have an impact in the report as those who reported being partially vaccinated had more favourable mental health scores than those who haven’t been vaccinated.
