Post-lockdown | Questions staff should ask HR before going back to the office

For several months, a large portion of employees have either been working from home due to the coronavirus pandemic or have been on the Government’s Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (CJRS) due to a lack of work.

After some time out of a physical office environment – and with an imminent return to work on the cards for many – some employees may be feeling anxious about returning to work.

Several studies have illustrated these concerns. For example, recent research from Bupa Health Clinics found that 65% of UK employees feel anxious about the prospect of returning to work.

The most common concern was around the implementation of social distancing measures in the office, according to 46% of survey respondents.
