What should be top of mind as you consider returning to the office

How soon should you rally the troops to return to the workplace? How do you reassure your employees, communicate your new safety measures, or protect your organization against COVID-19-related lawsuits?

These are questions everyone is asking. We’ve put together a guidebook, Ragan’s “Back to the Workplace Guide” filled with those answers. Packed with templates, checklists, case studies, a resource library and more, this guidebook is your roadmap.

Even when a post-pandemic world emerges, the pandemic will have forever changed offices and workplaces. Organizations that resisted allowing staffers to work from home are rethinking the idea of working from home.

One such company is Dixon Schwabl, a Rochester, New York, advertising and marketing firm, says CEO Lauren Dixon. “I was proved dead-wrong, because our team is super, super productive working from home,” she says.

Safety and health are only the start of the issues organizations must communicate as they reboard their workforces. Meanwhile, communicators must spread the word about new protocols, and find ways reunite office employees—who have been sheltering at home—with facilities and manufacturing staff, who bravely came to work every day during the pandemic.
