A new \u2018Return to Workplace Survey\u2019 from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.businesswire.com\/news\/home\/20210316005363\/en\/As-Workplace-Returns-Accelerate-New-Study-Finds-Employees-Want-Companies-to-Embrace-Hybrid-Work-and-Enforce-Mandatory-COVID-Vaccines\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Envoy<\/a> has found that 66% of employees say that they fear for their health and safety, and nearly 48% say they would prefer a hybrid schedule in which they can continue to work from home a few days a week.<\/p>\n<p>But is the desire to continue working virtually rooted in a fear of the virus or is it a preference for flexibility and the ease of working at home?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPrevious Pew research from late 2020 found that 90 percent of people said they didn\u2019t want to return to the workplace even after it was deemed safe to do so. So, I think employers need to prepare themselves for the reality that they are going to get a lot of pushback from employees about starting to go back to work in person,\u201d says Rob Wilson, President of Employco USA and employment trends expert. \u201cEven with the vaccines and other COVID safety measures in place, the reality is that many WFH employees have simply become accustomed to the lifestyle and don\u2019t want to return to long commutes, business attire, and other obligations that come with working in person.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Wilson says that employers need to do all they can to impress upon employees that in-person days are coming soon and that it\u2019s time to get back to a new normal. \u201cGive your employees lots of warning,\u201d says Wilson. \u201cKeep in mind the fact that many employees have children who may not yet be back at school, and that others may live with elderly or high-risk family members. Make sure that you are being very transparent with your employees in regards to COVID safety procedures, and consider offering vaccine incentives to help ensure that your staff is as protected as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Even though remote work is desirable for many reasons, Wilson says employers cannot just assume these perks are the only reason people fear a return to the workplace.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCertainly many people are still rightly worried about the virus and risking undue exposure while on the job,\u201d says Wilson. \u201cYet, interestingly, it is not older employees or those with higher risk factors who most wish to continue working from home. It\u2019s younger people\u2014those who are Gen Z who were most likely to say that they don\u2019t feel safe working at the office and want to continue being virtual.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When considering whether or not to allow employees to take on a hybrid schedule, Wilson says that numerous studies performed pre-COVID bear out the fact that younger generations of employees are strongly in favor of a virtual workplace.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cResearch shows that 40% of people would take a pay cut if it meant they could work from home,\u201d says Wilson. \u201cOver half of employees say that working from home would give them a better quality of life and lead to greater job satisfaction. So if you are looking for clever and low-cost ways to become a more attractive employer with a higher rate of employee retention, consider the fact that today\u2019s generation cares more about a work\/life balance than a hefty paycheck.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For more on this topic, please contact Rob Wilson at\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:rwilson@thewilsoncompanies.com\">rwilson@thewilsoncompanies.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Employment trends expert advises employers on how to handle hesitant employees With vaccines rolling out across the country and millions of Americans preparing for a post-COVID reality, research suggests that many people would rather continue working from home than returning&hellip;  <\/p>\n<p class=\"more-link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.employco.com\/blog\/2021\/03\/23\/new-study-majority-of-wfh-employees-dont-want-to-return-to-the-post-covid-workplace\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[30,5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3337","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-coronavirus","category-employee-benefits"],"featured_image_src":null,"author_info":{"display_name":"Employco USA","author_link":"https:\/\/www.employco.com\/blog\/author\/employcousa\/"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
