Working in multiple locations creates continuously changing physical, virtual and social settings for mobile employees. This paper shows, by exploring locally and globally moving employees, that changing environments arouse varying perceptions of both well‐being and stress. The identification of mental workload factors is necessary both for working in and managing mobile, multi‐locational work.
