Return-to-office plans should focus on flexibility, health and safety: experts - Interview in Benefits Canada

“As provinces across the country begin removing coronavirus pandemic restrictions over the coming weeks, some employers are already returning employees to their respective workplaces.

But many employees are still hesitant to return to a shared office space, particularly while the country is still mired in the public health crisis. Although some employers may drop their vaccination policies, some employees will still be uncomfortable not knowing whether the people they’re working and sharing a space with are vaccinated, says Janet Candido, founder and principal of Candido Consulting Group, noting this will pose a problem for employers.”

Janet Candido is interviewed for Benefits Canada to discuss the office return and why employers should implement a slow transition back to offices, since some people will never be comfortable returning to the office and it will be important for employers to accommodate these workers.
