Studies show some employees feel they are more productive working from home, whereas others feel they accomplish more at-the-office. However, there are articles that show people want to get back to a workplace where they can collaborate in-person with others, not be distracted by children, and also return to developing their careers.
Safety options companies are considering to bring back their employees include:
- Having everyone in the office, warehouse, restaurant, or store continue to wear face masks provided by company
- Allowing only people with an approved vaccination and health card to come into company facilities (Rockefeller Foundation survey indicates 9 out of 10 companies prioritize this)
- Providing counseling and support and for this stressful situation to those concerned employees
- Educating employees through health professionals (live or video) on illness signals and stress signs to be aware of
- Continuing telecommuting and virtual meetings for unvaccinated employees
- Offering on-and-off site workday scheduling options for experienced employees they wish to keep
- Using more on-line options for interviewing, hiring, onboarding, and training to fill open positions
Company owners and managers need to decide what IS or is NOT working for the profitability and productivity of their organizations. After issues are reviewed, re-opening options considered, and best policy/process is chosen to get people back to work, then communicate that to current and potential employees via company website. Send emails or letters to employees to let them know the highlights and refer them to website for details and new information as decisions are made.
