What Minnesota Workers Need to Know: The Mental Benefits of Returning to Work | The Right Staff

With offices beginning to reopen, you may be hesitant to go back to work. This may be due to concerns about your health as you transition into being around more people throughout the day. Although these are valid concerns, there also are significant benefits of returning to the office.

 

5 Mental Benefits You Gain by Transitioning Back to the Office

 

Separate Your Professional Personal Life

Like many employees, you may have struggled with balancing working from home, attending meetings over the phone or by video, homeschooling, caring for your children, and performing other household duties throughout the day. As a result, you may feel less stressed working in the office than you do from home. You also might find relief in getting back to your routine of going to the office to work and coming home to spend time with your family. The specified work hours, days, and break times should provide you with a sense of structure and stability.

 

Have a Designated Workspace

As with many employees, going back to the office may mean having a desk to work at. This defined area may be different from the section of the kitchen, dining room, or other space you may have had to carve out to work from home. Being in the office also makes it easier to keep your work there. It may have felt impossible to completely get into or leave work mode at home because your personal and professional responsibilities always were visible.

 

Interact with Coworkers

If you missed your colleagues and coworkers, you should welcome the opportunity to talk with them in person. In addition, because you may consider your coworkers extended family members, you likely want to reconnect with them through meaningful social interactions.

 

Gain a Sense of Purpose

Going to the office to work provides a feeling of purpose. In addition, you gain self-confidence, pride, and a sense of accomplishment from providing for your family.
