The post-pandemic era has seen a significant rise in remote work in Brazil, as the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) reported. This shift, affecting both company employees and self-employed individuals, has introduced new mental health challenges.
Adapting to remote work requires reconfiguring daily routines and living spaces to accommodate professional obligations, often leading to heightened stress and anxiety among workers. Employers play a crucial role in mitigating these challenges by implementing flexible policies, offering resources for setting up conducive homework environments, and providing mental health support for remote employees.
By addressing the psychological impacts of remote work and implementing supportive measures, employers can ensure the well-being and productivity of their workforce in this evolving post-pandemic era.
