In today's volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA) environment, it is crucial to consider employees as an integral part of the broader picture. The COVID-19 outbreak has brought about significant changes in employment practices. Remote work, shortened workweeks, and hybrid work arrangements are increasingly common. Some argue that these changes have led to higher job satisfaction, better work-life balance, and improved mental health. However, some leaders and industry stakeholders are apprehensive about this transition. Therefore, this study aims to determine a balanced approach that can safeguard employee well-being without compromising the industry's interests and the country's economic stability.
