A return to the workplace is a monumental task that goes beyond compliance to new safety and health regulations. Given that it’s the second paradigm shift for employees who were forced to work remotely, concerns around their mental, physical and emotional well-being in the new working environment need to be taken seriously if they are to adapt to dynamic new business cultures and elevate their productivity. Join us for a highly thought provoking conversation with an industrial psychologist and a team of industry experts, highlighting the myriad of considerations behind a planned, individualised and carefully orchestrated return to the workplace in comparison to the benefits and value in continuing to work from home and how these options weigh on our minds from a psychological perspective. We also address how to create and maintain the ‘new’ healthier and safer workplace, the shaping of which will create a neo-culture of interaction. This merges into how to sustain compliance to Covid-19 regulations, particularly for schools and sports facilities, and how to manifest a productive, yet flexible workforce.
