Employment trends expert advises on what to do when workers are hesitant to come back to the office<\/em><\/p>\n

\"WorkLast year, more than half of workers<\/a> said they wanted to continue working from home indefinitely. That number has only grown in the last several months. In a recent Harvard Business Review study<\/a>, it was revealed that 32% of American workers say they never want to return to the workplace, even after the COVID-19 pandemic finally ends.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat we are finding is that a lot of people are really resistant to the idea of closing out of Zoom and putting on real pants again,\u201d says Rob Wilson, President of Employco USA and employment trends expert. \u201cSome of them say that they are truly still concerned about the virus, but many of them have just found that they highly prefer working from home, and they\u2019re using this opportunity to try and finagle their positions into being fully work-from-home or at least hybrid.\u201d<\/p>\n

But is this a good idea from a management perspective?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cResearch is quite conflicting here,\u201d says Wilson. \u201cWhile employees report that they are more productive, other research shows that remote workers are less engaged and more likely to quit.\u201d<\/p>\n

More importantly, says Wilson, managers should stress to employees that it is safe to return to the office, and that working from home is no longer necessary.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile you might consider offering hybrid work situations, that\u2019s not going to work for every position,\u201d says Wilson. \u201cBut that doesn\u2019t mean you should rush to return employees without any safety protocol. Workplaces can require their employees to continue wearing a mask, even if they have been vaccinated, and you can continue to keep up your sanitization and social-distancing guidelines.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, if your employee is a high-risk employee, you might need to find workarounds that will continue to allow them to work from home.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you have an employee who is immunosuppressed and\/or also unable to get the vaccine, then you need to find ways to keep them remote for as long as possible and make every effort to be accommodating,\u201d says Wilson. \u201cBut you\u2019ll need medical verification because this could easily be abused.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wilson suggests having an outdoor event or small gathering to note the occasion, as well as to help reconnect employees who have not seen each other for a while.<\/p>\n

\u201cUse this as an opportunity to go over COVID precautions like mask-wearing and to address any concerns people may have about returning to the office,\u201d says Wilson.<\/p>\n
