Episode 195: The Challenges of Returning to the Office

This week, Wei-Shen and Tony discuss on how companies should be communicating ‘back-to-office’ moves to their employees. Is there a right way to do this, and if poorly communicated, what could it mean for staff morale? Companies should think about the full ecosystem before executing a full move back to “normalcy”. Then, they dig a little deeper into how the work-from-home situation should mean for productivity levels. They also talk about the practicalities and health concerns in getting staff back into the office, especially in crowded cities. Everyone is affected by this pandemic and physical distancing at varying levels mentally. How do we take care of our mental health during this time? They wrap up talking about how they deal with stress and what gives them joy. Next week, they’ll be back with a guest.
