Two thirds of those still working from home report that their employer has taken a genuine interest in their wellbeing and mental health during the pandemic.
Research covering 2,000 Britons from Canada Life also found 63% of employees believed working from home had given them a better work-life balance and 55% said it had a positive impact on their mental health.
Working from home also delivered benefits to physical health, with 47% saying they felt fitter and healthier as a result.
However, the research also indicated the pandemic has raised some concerns among employees around presenteeism and time off.
Nearly two fifths (39%) would like to see their employer address the issue of presenteeism, while 47% said they had struggled to take time off and 44% were worried about taking their remaining holiday before the end of the year.
While most employees felt supported by their employer, 54% would like their employer to introduce wellness days and 46% would like fewer meetings or less time on Zoom.
Four in 10 (43%) would like better access to mental health support and 38% would like flexible working hours.
Commenting on the findings, Ian Ranger, head of medical underwriting and claims at Canada Life, said: “As more of the UK workforce returns to the office, employers first and foremost must listen to the wants and needs of their employees.
“While for some working from home has given them the ability to see more of their families, for others, it has been a period of loneliness.
“As such, employers should look for ways to support their employees and demonstrate their commitment to their wellbeing no matter what their situation.”
