The Impact of Remote Work on Employee Well-Being: A Neurological Analysis

Abstract

In a world where the boundaries between work and life have become increasingly fluid, understanding the multifaceted impact of remote work is essential for fostering a productive and healthy workplace. This article examines the ever-evolving landscape of remote work and its impact on employee well-being, analysing current research and trends to explore the relationship between neurological responses and working from home. Current research underscores the enduring prevalence of remote work, simultaneously illuminating its potential to enhance productivity for some while casting shadows of isolation and burnout for others. This article, through a comparative analysis of existing research and current trends, aims to shed light on the unique neurological responses evoked by remote work when contrasted with traditional office environments. It further provides strategies and interventions for individuals and organisations aiming to harness the potential of remote work while safeguarding the mental health and well-being of their employees.
