Return to office : understanding employee’s perceptions of well-being and the influence on employers and policymakers

Abstract

The transition back to office environments post-pandemic has initiated significant interest in understanding employee well-being. This study explores how employees perceive their well-being in the context of returning to physical workplaces. It examines the psychological, social, and physical aspects of employee well-being in the context of the workplace, emphasizing both positive and negative impacts. The research also delves into how these perceptions influence employer strategies and policymaking. Employers are seen adapting their approaches to enhance employee satisfaction and productivity, while policymakers are considering regulations that support flexible work arrangements and mental health initiatives. The research seeks to thoroughly explore the various impacts of returning to the office, providing valuable insights for developing work environments that focus on employee well-being.
