Returning to Work (Spaces): A Three-Step Plan

Many leaders and staff have been envisioning a return to physical workplaces after prolonged absences necessitated by the COVID-19 pandemic. We have adapted to working remotely and virtually at kitchen tables while vying with our families, roommates and neighbors for coveted Wi-Fi bandwidth. Surely returning to familiar workspaces will be easier, or will it? 

Regardless of our individual mindsets, these are the questions organizations asking: 

• Who should be involved in return-to-work decision-making;
• What are the risks and benefits of returning to work after prolonged absences;
• Which return-to-work models are organizations (hybrid, staggered schedules, virtual);
• How to create a safe and positive return-to-work experience for staff; and
• Why is re-calibrating organizational culture a key to re-acclimating to familiar surroundings, especially in unfamiliar and uncertain times

For this session, we are partnering with Nonprofit HR to:

• Address compliance and safety requirements aligned with returning to physical workspaces
• Incorporate tactical and operational considerations related to hybrid return-to-work models, 
• Explore strategic opportunities to re-calibrate organizational culture, advance equity and embrace inclusiveness as staff return to “brick and mortar” work locations
