The latest LifeWorks Mental Health Index shows another drop in the mental health of Canadian workers for the fifth straight month with workers with disabilities feeling the brunt of the impact.

The mental health index clocked in at 64.3 per cent in November, a decrease by 0.6 in comparison to October.

The monthly report highlights issues regarding minorities in the workplace and found that workers with disabilities are 70 per cent more likely to feel unvalued at work and are twice as likely to feel as if they cannot be themselves as well as receive negative comments from their management.

Employees who identify as part of the LGBTQIA+ community are 50 per cent more likely to say their ideas are not valued and also feel that they are unable to be themselves in the workplace.

Along with minority groups, respondents who are underweight say they are two times more likely to receive negative comments from their higher-ups.
