That's according to a new survey of 2,000 workers commissioned by LinkedIn, which also found nearly half of older workers miss colleagues and one in five feel lonely and isolated.
A third of women are exercising more and nearly half are spending more time with family. The study also found that 51% of employees would like flexible hours and the option to continue to work from home post-lockdown.
According to the Irish Independent, workers also intend to be kinder to colleagues post-lockdown, but four in ten worry about being made redundant after lockdown is lifted.
Meanwhile, a separate survey also out today showed that over 70% of Irish adults are most looking forward to being able to go outdoors freely, without restrictions.
While 4 in ten of those asked in the iReach survey want to see family members outside their household. The research also found that going out for a walk is the way most people are relieving their anxiety.
