Return-to-Office Mandates, Health and Well-being: Evidence from a Natural Experiment
Abstract:
We exploit an exogenous reform regarding place of work for public-sector workers in Italy to establish the causal effect of a return-to-office (RTO) mandate on worker health and well-being. In nine waves of quarterly panel data there is first a significant fall in teleworking for those affected by the RTO mandate, who also spend more time outdoors, work fewer hours, and interact less with relatives and friends. The net effect of these lifestyle changes on a battery of health and well-being measures following the return to office work is insignificant. Returning to the office neither improves nor worsens health.
