Covid-19 impact: How significant is workplace wellness in UAE-based offices?

Working habits have changed globally over the last six months as a result of the ongoing pandemic. The health scares and challenges Covid-19 brought with it, have led to an altered workplace where uncertainty, stress and financial pressures seem to dominate.

Personal and professional stressors have shaped a complex and anxious workforce that is more concerned and wary of the future than ever before. Being physically disconnected from colleagues and family adversely impacted employees and compounded the stress experienced. As offices continue to gradually welcome employees back into the physical workplace, there are many lessons from the lockdown period that need to be remembered and considered as we move forward.

In this context, workplace wellness is more crucial than ever to boosting employee morale and positivity in organisations.
