Good morning,
Many businesses plan to officially reopen their workplaces by the summer. And with so many colleagues meeting in person for the first time in over a year, things are bound to be a little awkward.
If you’re among those resuming in-person work soon, you’ll need to help ease that awkwardness and anxiety by executing a safe and equitable return to the office. Of course, each company’s strategy will look different--but plenty of business owners tend to agree that for now, leaders should listen to employees and stay flexible. For instance, don't expect that all employees will be eager to return to the office, even if they're vaccinated. Rather, get employee buy-in by validating individuals' concerns and asking what will make them feel safe.
After all, employees may have experienced the pandemic in vastly different ways. Some were at low risk and affected only indirectly, by having to change their lifestyles; others lost loved ones, got sick themselves, or had reason to fear for their safety on a daily basis; and some might still be dealing with long-term symptoms. "Find ways to support employee autonomy,” recommends Rachel O’Neill, director of clinical effectiveness at New York City-based online therapy provider Talkspace and a therapist who specializes in employee wellness. “Recognize that various members of your workforce will be at different points of acceptance with regards to return to work."
Read our story to learn how to handle your first day back in the office, including some great advice from CEOs of fast-growing businesses and workplace experts. |
