HOUSTON - This year has taken a heavy toll on a lot of people as we continue to face new changes and challenges throughout the pandemic. Whether working from home or at the office, many say they ve been negatively impacted by their mental health. Also, stress levels remain high as many of us feel tied to our computers day in and day out. You don t have those opportunities to have the watercooler chats and, you know, go grab a coffee together. So, I think that does weigh on people from you know, an emotional health perspective.

With the shift to remote working and a pandemic on hand, more leaders Priya Sunil spoke to are focusing on mental, physical and financial wellbeing in 2021, along with creating a safe remote work environment.
The shift to work-from-home arrangements, and cost-saving measures in 2020 has brought with it challenges for employees – be it lesser opportunities to keep physically fit outdoors, adjusting their financial priorities, the lack of socialisation with friends/colleagues, and more. As a result, not only has physical wellness become a matter of concern, even financial and mental wellness are being taken more seriously than ever before.

When Muthu Hanu began working from home in 2014, he had his system set up. As a human resources transformation consultant, he had a home office with a desk that converted to standing, a comfortable chair, and good lighting. But when the pandemic curtailed his travel to see clients and work solely from his Morrisville, North Carolina, home, he started feeling new aches and pains.
“When I was going to work or visiting offices [pre-COVID], I did not have any issues as I used to walk around a lot,” he says. Now, without that outside activity, his back hurts. His neck feels tight. He’s more tired than usual.
