Employees who work for companies who are sending them back to work have mixed feelings about a return to office. Many discovered that they were able to work effectively from home and don’t miss things like commutes or having to ditch the workspaces they’ve created for themselves over the last year in favor of a cubicle.
While some value the social aspect of returning to a physical workplace, others have anxiety about it and it’s something that HR teams are going to have to consider carefully when examining their return to work policies. In the end, the best thing HR can do is engage employees around what they want and devise solutions that prioritize flexibility over a return to status quo.
