How to Persuade Employees to Return to the Workplace in 2022
Duration: 90 minutes
Speaker: Teri Morning
Webinar Description
Neither food trucks nor yoga classes seem able to coax employees back into the office. Low unemployment rates have made competition for employees fierce. Our once close coworkers seem strangers to each other.
The way we work has fundamentally changed for many organizations and will to some extent remain changed for the foreseeable future. Since employers can’t go back in time, they have to move forward. So, in order to persuade your employees to come back to the workplace, you must seize the new creative opportunities to rethink the workplace, especially offices. Not just the physical structure of the workplace, there are also new opportunities to revisualize how we work, even what it means to work.
Agenda
Topics covered will include:
- Managing anxieties employees have about returning to the workplace.
- Getting to know each other again.
- Recreating home style advantages at the office.
- Creative scheduling to face continued childcare and family responsibilities.
- Opportunities to rethink office interpersonal interactions.
- Pros and cons of hybrid work schedules.
- Communicating your plans.
- Rethinking work life benefits.
- Responding to work at home accommodation requests.
- Should you allow pets in the office? Meeting the needs of those who adopted pandemic puppies.
- Supervisors – changing your management style once again.
- Five reasons other than money and workplace locations that people are really quitting.
