The Travelers Companies, Inc. (NYSE: TRV) today announced the
results of the Travelers Mental Wellness Checkup, a national survey
of 2,000 employed adults across more than 10 industries. Most
respondents reported experiencing some type of negative effect on
their mental health since the pandemic began last year: 59% have
worried about losing a loved one, 50% have suffered from loneliness
and 37% said their level of personal stress has worsened.

However, respondents have remained resilient, as most reported
that their mental state appears to be recovering, with 73%
describing their current mental health as excellent or good – up
from 67% in the early months of the pandemic.
“Understanding an employee’s mental health plays an important
role in managing workplace injuries,” said Dr. Marcos Iglesias,
Vice President and Chief Medical Director at Travelers. “The
pandemic has likely affected the many psychosocial factors that can
complicate the healing process and delay the time it takes to
recover from a physical injury. It’s encouraging to see workers’
mental health trending back toward pre-pandemic levels because when
employees are in a good mental state, they are safer, more
productive and can often recuperate quicker if they do get
hurt.”
Positivity and the use of coping mechanisms are likely
contributing to the improving outlooks. When asked to name any
“silver lining” they’ve experienced during the pandemic, most
employed adults (84%) identified at least one of the following,
including:
- Having a job (41%).
- Saving money (34%).
- Working remotely (29%).
- Ability to multitask between personal and professional
responsibilities (24%).
- Picking up a new hobby (20%).
- Not commuting (19%).
- Connecting with others virtually (15%).
Exercise and spending time with family were the top ways that
respondents described managing loneliness and stress over the last
year, followed by using social media, spending time with pets and
reaching out to friends or co-workers. Coping strategies varied
somewhat by age group: baby boomers were more likely to keep in
touch with others, while millennials were more likely to turn to
social media or a new hobby.
The survey also found a correlation between employer-provided
resources and workers’ mental health. Thirty percent of respondents
who believe their employer has provided ample mental health
resources also reported that their ability to manage stress
improved during the pandemic, and one-third (33%) noted that
loyalty to their employer increased. Meanwhile, 42% of workers who
feel their employer has not provided enough mental health support
said their ability to manage stress worsened during the pandemic,
and 29% said loyalty to their employer decreased.
Dr. Iglesias added, “It’s important to note that employers can
positively affect the overall well-being of their employees by
taking a more holistic view of their health beyond just physical
safety.”
