Back to the Office

Reentry to the workplace is causing anxiety and uncertainty with a large number of employees. During the pandemic, the ultimate goal was to head back to the office with the routines that surround restarting. But this is turning out to not be the case. The workplace has changed post-pandemic and so has the mindset of a lot of people. There have been adjustments made to the workplace and workers will need to adapt. Offices are reopening and employees are being welcomed back. Managers are trying to implement strategies that will make their staff feel comfortable upon their return but that is becoming a huge undertaking. This is the perfect time to reach out to West Niagara Chiropractic and Wellness Centre whether you are a manager or an employee.
There is talk of readjusting to the new work routine while recognizing the mixed feelings that have accompanied the new world of working. Some companies have halted the return to work this fall due to how to handle vaccination mandates. These have added to those feelings of anxiousness. Some people just want to get the return started no matter what and others are happy to continue working from home. Even when employers have introduced hybrid work, some staff don’t want to go back at all. Employers should take into account that each employee will feel differently about the return. Hopefully, leaders and co-workers will be understanding and ease into the return to the office. This should help with those feelings of anxiousness.
Many workers have concerns about the safety of their office and the commute if they use public transportation. Are surfaces clean? Who is vaccinated? These types of questions have led to increased anxiousness among those with the return-to-work top of mind. With these thoughts, business owners will need to think about how they can make reentry positive. The hesitancy and concerns of employees should be addressed without negativity. It should be known that a lot of workers relished the work-from-home experience and there could be employees that want no part of heading back to the office.
Managers need to take the time to ask questions of their staff to learn about their concerns and anxieties and will need to come up with a reentry plan. It will take more than unlocking the doors to satisfy all staff members. This may be the perfect time to offer hybrid work or full-time employment from home. There will be a fine line to be walked to satisfy both hesitant employees and the staff who are ready to get back to the office full-time. Positivity needs to be at the forefront. Now, more than ever, it’s time to listen to your body. The holistic approach to your healthcare will be beneficial to you and your health.
