By now, we’re all aware that the pandemic has completely changed workplace wellness. Interestingly enough, safety and protection are now seen as aspects of wellness, which means workplace wellness has become more of a responsibility than simply a positive addition.
There are Major Perspective Shifts in Wellness
- Uncertainty of safety outside the home (i.e. at work) due to the pandemic.
- The more technology used, the more people may fear there is a misuse of information.
- Remote work blurring the lines between work and personal time, which can lead to a lack of connection, engagement, and productivity.
