COVID-19 pandemic has shifted the way how businesses operate and conduct their business. It has forced businesses to rapidly redesign their work arrangements in order to protect the health and safety of their employees. In order to survive, businesses need to redesign work arrangements in a way that is both effective and sustainable in the long-term. Many employees are still unable to travel or work remotely, which means that many traditional office environments are not viable options. There are many challenges that businesses are facing in redesigning their work arrangements post-COVID-19.

Introduction

A positive psychology researcher elaborates happiness as "the experience of joy, contentment, or positive well-being, linked with a sense that one's life is good, significant, and valuable." (Lyubomirsky, 2007). Defining happiness may not be as easy as defining colours. Red as hot, blue as cool, white as pure and the list goes on. It was suggested by Dr. Joel Low, a Clinical Psychologist and Director at The Mind Psychological Services & Training, happiness is a primary emotion in which it could lead to the feeling of pleasure, elation and proud. Happiness can be achieved by doing something like, eating your favourite food, buying a brand-new car, or it might even be getting things or tasks done in time. Happiness involves value judgement where most of the time it is attained when the person has whatever it is that benefits him or her. If we have various values, we may have diverse ideas about what constitute a happy life. It is indeed hard to define happy, even for our own self.
