When the COVID-19 pandemic forced executives out of their offices and allowed them to work from their dining room tables, many hailed the move as a step towards a more equal work/life balance. And whilst it works for many, working from home actually causes stress levels to increase for the majority of people.
Research across 15 countries has shown that 41% of employees who more often worked from home considered themselves highly stressed, compared to only 25% of those who worked only on-site.
But why is this?
Surely a lack of a lengthy commute, access to your own fridge whenever you like and taking video meetings at home would make you less stressed overall?
Well it turns out that there’s actually logical reasoning for feeling more stressed whilst working from home…
Dependance on mobile-tech
A higher reliance on smartphones and laptops is associated with higher stress levels. Additionally, it promotes greater social isolation and can cause problems like insomnia, both of which are conversely linked with greater stress.
A forced issue
Whilst many promote the freedom and flexibility working from home affords people, under current circumstances, working from home isn’t your choice. One of the fundamental elements of good mental health is autonomy, self-expression and a sense of control. But being sent home from the office and not having the choice to go to the office or work in our usual ways means we have no control or autonomy in regards to the way we work – which can be highly frustrating.
You’re out of routine
Having worked in an office for years, you’ll have no doubt formed a frictionless routine that has seen you move from meeting to meeting, and task to task without even really thinking about it. But that has been disrupted greatly. Activities now require more thought and aren’t as smooth as before which can cause stress levels to rise.
You’re distracted
Working from home blurs the lines between work life and home life and can easily equate to one big distraction. The presence of children and partners at home can sidetrack you whilst you’re trying to work and can pull focus – even if they don’t mean to. When you add on various aspects of everyday life; the washing up, the laundry, the dog, even the postman, it means you’re not giving work your full attention and feeling like you’re not giving 110% can leave you feeling anxious and stressed.
