Just in case there was any doubt, these last few weeks have set the record straight on whether Covid is going away any time soon. No doubt the recent spikes we’ve seen will send many of your employees back into work-from-home (WFH) status (if they ever returned to the office in the first place, that is). And although a few promising vaccines are providing a light at the end of the tunnel, the workplace is not slated to return to normal anytime soon. On the brightside, this winter could provide a time for C-Suite leadership to reflect on the long-term nature of who goes remote, who doesn’t, and other considerations that will spring from those decisions.
Chief Executive magazine recently published a short article reviewing some of these considerations, not the least of which will be equity among those with different work agreements. These considerations include:
Will your workers’ compensation change, if anyone goes remote?
What restrictions will you apply to remote workers?
What is your long-term strategy?
How will you manage and measure productivity remotely?
What kind of culture are you creating?
