Just interested now we are at freedom day what is your company policy for returning to the office? (of course no need to name the company)
Mine are still "watching". They have asked people to come in this week to clear personal artifacts from desks. When (no date decided) we return we will need to book a desk for a day in advance. We will be allocated said desk and if you want to sit near a particular colleague you need to put this on the request. No date for the return and sadly masks are mandated.
A lot of us are working perfectly fine from home, but some people do not have a good place to work (they are working on a kitchen table in a shared house or hunched up in their bedrooms) so I suspect they will be the first in the queue to return. I am waiting for HR to clarify the mask policy and what happens if you are exempt as this is the bit that is putting me off returning otherwise I would be back as soon as they opened the doors.
But in summary - they are in no hurry but trying to make space available for staff that don't have satisfactory environment to work at home from. (I do wonder if we will see an increase in RSI generally with people working in sub-optimal offices)
