The #EssentialDigitalSkills report shows that 40% of the UK labour force aged 18+ are considering learning new digital skills for work, the most popular option being data analysis skills such as data science or artificial intelligence (16%). This consideration drops with increased age.   Ipsos is pleased to work with Lloyds Banking Group for the fourth year on the Essential Digital Skills (EDS) study, to understand the digital capability and skills of the UK population. This skills framework is divided into three areas, Foundation Level, Life EDS and Work EDS, each with their own list of tasks that are considered vital in order for an individual to be digitally skilled and capable.   Read the report here: https://ow.ly/KY9250QyJ4n

Today marks World Mental Health Day.   Using UKOM endorsed data from Ipsos iris, we can see that there is still a significant imbalance between men and women accessing mental health & wellbeing content online.   Between April and July 2024, women accounted for more than 8 in every 10 minutes spent on mental health & wellbeing sites and apps.   While the disparity between men and women is slightly smaller among younger internet users - with women accounting for 75% of time spent among 18-34s compared to 92% for over 55s - the gap is still large across all age groups.   We'll be exploring more differences in how men and women engage with health and mental health content online, amongst other topics, in our webinar 'Exploring Digital: The Women in our Data' today at 3pm, presented by Matt Patchett and Samira Brophy.   You can sign up at the link below: https://lnkd.in/ePWX8--Q #Webinar #Ipsosiris #Event #Gender #MentalHealth #WorldMentalHealthDay

💚 Ipsos Global Trends - Conscientious Health 🧠 Our second trend Conscientious Health, highlights a shift in UK attitudes towards well-being. A staggering 77% of Brits now agree that they need to do more to look after their mental health - an increase from 68% in 2019 and 69% in 2022. So what's driving this change? • The pandemic's lasting impact: COVID-19 brought mental health issues to the forefront, highlighting the importance of self-care. • Increased awareness: social media and conversations around mental health have helped destigmatise the topic. • Focus on holistic well-being: people are recognising that physical and mental health are interconnected. What does this mean for the UK? •Prioritise employee well-being: offer mental health support programs, flexible work arrangements, and a supportive company culture. • Align with consumer values: brands that prioritise mental health can build stronger connections with UK consumers. •Create products and services that support well-being: consider incorporating mental health features or benefits into your offerings.
