One in five Britons now suffer unmanageable stress with the UK ranking the fifth worst in the world.
More than a quarter blame work.
Fewer than one in 10 employees have a workplace well-being programme which they use.
This compares to over one in five employees globally reporting they use such programmes.
The news comes despite almost half of people saying availability of a workplace well-being programme would sway them towards an employer.
The Cigna 360° Well-Being Survey questioned 14,467 people in 23 countries.
Emma Mamo, head of Workplace Wellbeing at Mind, said: “Most of us have jobs involving an element of pressure, which can be beneficial in small doses, helping us meet deadlines for example.
“But when pressure becomes unmanageable and stress is prolonged, it can negatively affect our physical and mental health.”
