Flexibility in how we work is a good thing. Or is it?
During the pandemic, worries over employees experiencing feelings of isolation and a lack of connectivity to their teams was a big concern. While it’s great to avoid commutes and give people back some time, do people actually benefit from work arrangements that see them working in isolation from home?
Much of the insight available to us on this is based on opinion or observation. But now, groundbreaking research conducted by Professor Mark Ma and his graduate student Yuye Ding at the University of Pittsburgh provides actual data-based insights on whether flexibility is good or bad for mental health across the US.
