Data analysed through thematic analysis emerging issues explored. Findings Major employee included: access resources for safe working; worker mental health well-being; effects changing practices, particularly flexible working, on wider household circumstances work–life balance (especially combining childcare responsibilities with work). First, physical safety measures (such as PPE) put place all workers, although sometimes delays. Second, concerning practical support well-being at work, findings highlight that employers’ was considered limited some participants. In contrast, participants from home offered considerably greater employer well-being, including increased regular communication regarding work non-work-related topics tackle isolation lack social interactions. Third, balance, especially significant those home. To improve organisational resilience, workers needs better reflect employees’ job role, setting location, well demands such childcare. Practical implications The lessons learned this study contribute future practices times crises also improving mental-health normal times.

This study introduces resilience index that magnifies "unaveraged clues" changes in Origin-Destination (OD) pairs quantify spatially unequal response use external shocks from 2020 2023. Our findings reveal spatial heterogeneity OD dynamic change related factors. high during outbreak were often associated long-distance labour-intensive industries, highlighting need cater "captive" travellers outbreaks.
