The purpose of the report is to describe the experiences of individuals who need to work from home as a result of COVID-19. The report is part of an AFA-funded research project that runs until June 2023.
A survey was conducted in five different organizations in the spring of 2021 and 2022. The survey is part of a larger study that aims to investigate employees' organizational and social work environment, mental well-being, motivation, and performance while working from home during the pandemic. The results of the research study are expected to contribute to understanding how the transition to working from home during COVID-19 affects an individual's mental health and well-being; how work-life boundaries have been reworked; how employees will go back to the new normal after COVID-19; and the role of managers in supporting their employees during these transitions and how their support affects productivity.
