- Younger workers are more likely to need time off for stress, with one in three aged 18-24 taking time off last year, compared to one in ten for those aged 45 and above.
- The survey found that only 56% of 18 to 24-year-olds feel comfortable discussing stress with their line managers, down from 75% in the previous year.

- The report highlights a significant rise in stress-related time off among younger generations, with 35% of Gen Z workers taking mental health sick days last year.
