Abstract

The importance of workplace well-being has become increasingly prevalent in the field of psychology and research, with its importance growing even more following the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic, which triggered worldwide lockdown and influenced the operation and functioning of organisations across numerous sectors. This paper is a qualitative study, which compares workplace wellbeing in India before and after the Covid-19 pandemic. The study primarily investigated workplace well-being amongst schoolteachers, healthcare workers and corporate employees in urban India. The sample comprised 18 individuals and data was collected through semi-structured qualitative interviews. Thematic analysis was employed in order to identify the themes within and across sectors. Findings on the various benefits and challenges faced by each sector indicated that the overall workplace wellbeing has declined for healthcare workers and schoolteachers but improved for corporate employees post the Covid-19 pandemic, as compared to the pre-Covid times.
