Mass Vaccination, falling Covid-19 cases, and relaxation of Covid-19 induced lockdown is assisting in the gradual re-opening of the economy. Thus companies are finding ways to ask employees to return to the office. A radical change of the work culture that employees experienced over 15 months.
In our research we found that 51% of the workers who are willing to come back to office are vaccinated twice. While bosses are working on the safe return to the workplace, it is important that the Human Resource department shall work together with Facility Managers to design and execute the tool kit to secure a safe spot in the return to office.
A vocal and clear communication is inevitable to strengthen the mindset of employees and would play a crucial innings in the safe return of employees otherwise a sense of panic and a wave of shock can overturn everything. Success in restructuring is not easy, it is a road that will be travelled faster than ever. There has to be a lot of thought, design, execution plan to announce the return.
Of Course employees are afraid to come back to the office explaining your "Why", that "Why" they should come back and "HOW", "HOW" the company is the trickster in the safe back to office.
Return to Office Tool Kit is highly recommended.
In order to alleviate fears of employees catching infection at the workplace, communication is the key to win. Technology tools, education on personal + hand hygiene and figuring out the common touch points at offices will reduce the touch of human hands.
Employees are getting extra sleep, and their life is in the Pajamas with no long commutes in public transport. The “value” of a traditional workplace might be obvious to HR’s but this might be oblivious to the employees. In general it is assumed that employees believe in the mission and vision of the company. Productivity, fostering of growth culture, non-isolation from the team and collaboration are the four pillars of a prosperous workplace & this is the “why” & the “value” an HR shall communicate to the employees.
This will be an overt debate on the inconvenience and the fear of catching infection, but if the benefits are clearly infected and employees are taken into consideration then employees will safely return to office.
