Abstract

Taking a break in the "new normal": virtual reality relaxation for a stressed workforce Workers have experienced significant stress during the COVID-19 pandemic.COVID-19 has brought new pressures upon almost all industries, with increased demand on industries deemed "essential" and economic uncertainty for those deemed "non-essential" (Nicola et al., 2020;Nabarro, 2020).This article argues that the pandemic calls for novel solutions to support workers and that virtual reality (VR) relaxation could be piloted as a stress management tool in a greater number of workplaces.The evidence for this technology is emerging and more organisations may wish to pilot this innovative approach to benefit staff well-being.
