Like many industries that moved their business from in-person to remote operations amidst the height of the pandemic, you may consider returning to the office without a 60 Minutes Great Resignation as we continue to get back to “normal”. This white paper will provide information on the benefits of returning to the office and offer helpful tips on making this transition as smooth as possible for you and your team, allowing you to keep operations on track and avoid driving employees to resign.

The Current State of Working

When the COVID-19 pandemic started, most companies moved to remote work. The reasons for this were many: to prevent the spread of the disease, protect employees who may be vulnerable, and allow their employees to work remotely during this time instead of them looking for another job. It was a difficult change for many companies, but many fell in love with remote working.

There are many benefits to working from home, but it’s not always suitable for everyone. Some people find it difficult to focus or feel isolated, and others miss the social interaction of the office. Working remotely can also be more difficult for those in positions of authority, who may find it harder to enforce rules or give instructions when they can’t see their employees.

Still, many employees have enjoyed working remotely, and companies with remote jobs have 25% less turnover. As we naturally gravitate back to doing more things in-person, organizations will be faced with the dilemma of bringing operations back to the office and keeping their best employees at the same time.
