As the world starts to emerge from the Covid-19 pandemic, many businesses will be looking to implement remote working as the ‘new norm’.

Many countries across the world are beginning to ease lockdown restrictions during the Covid-19 pandemic, allowing staff to return to work.

In Hong Kong, MovePlan has already been supporting businesses to return to work. There, exposure and spread of the virus was identified and controlled early, which limited high rates of infection and death. This has allowed people to return to some sort of normality sooner than other places, such as the UK and the US, where the majority of people are still working from home.

Putting Your Plan Into Action

Do you have a plan in place to return staff to work once government lockdown restrictions are lifted during the Covid-19 pandemic? Most will almost certainly answer yes to that question. However, even well thought out plans can go wrong. The next challenge will be putting any plans into action, and being prepared to change and adapt if they don’t work.

Across industries, everyone is asking the same question; what will the return to work look like in a world altered by COVID-19? While we wait patiently for the governments to lift restrictions, business leaders are facing the challenge of adapting the workplace for returning employees.

Navigating a pandemic was unlikely to be part of your business’s continuity plan. Corporate leaders now have the daunting task of creating a plan for their workplaces, while sifting through the volume of information and ever-changing recommendations on how to find a new normal.
