    Brief

    This research opportunity focuses on investigating the relationship between work stress, employee burnout, and employment outcomes. It addresses recommendations from the House of Lords Home-Based Working Select Committee report regarding work-life balance policies. The research should examine how blurred boundaries between work and home environments impact worker wellbeing and productivity. Researchers are expected to develop evidence-based insights that inform proportionate, sector-adaptable policies supporting both employee mental health and business operational needs. The work should consider the balance between employer contact requirements and employee wellbeing across diverse employment arrangements.
