Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to analyze company strategies in maintaining employee well-being during the Covid-19 pandemic and to examine how these strategies evolved before and after the pandemic.

Research Methodology: The study used a randomly distributed questionnaire to employees from various businesses. A total of 157 respondents participated, with 134 valid responses analyzed. The data included demographics (type of business entity, industry, and company size), the impact of COVID-19, and strategies to maintain employee well-being. These covered: (a) implementation of well-being programs before and after the pandemic; and (b) implementation based on dimensions such as physical health, psychological health, relationships, and work–home balance.

Results: Companies increased their focus on employee well-being during the Covid-19 pandemic, particularly through physical health initiatives. However, there is still an imbalance, with psychological health receiving less attention.

Conclusions: Companies increased their focus on employee well-being during the Covid-19 pandemic, particularly through physical health initiatives. However, there is still an imbalance, with psychological health receiving less attention.

Limitations: This study is limited by 134 responses and the use of self-reported questionnaire data, which may introduce bias. It focuses only on selected dimensions and may not fully capture all aspects influencing employee welfare.

Contributions: This study provides insights into how companies adapt well-being strategies during crises and highlights the importance of balancing well-being dimensions, especially psychological health support.
