What is the new ‘normal’ for work?
Who wants to go back to the office? Who wants to stay at their home office?
What does hybrid working look like for both organisations and colleagues alike?
There are a lot of mixed feelings, and questions, when trying to figure out what the future of working habits is being determined. As the easing of lockdown from Covid-19 continues, the daily working routine varies hugely between companies and individuals.
No company is the same, and similarly every employee has different needs and circumstances.
Wellbeing initiatives
Employee wellbeing is as important as ever, with colleagues spending long periods of the day at the desk on virtual calls.
Hybrid working, working from home, fewer people in the office, zoom calls, wanting to keep the office limited to colleagues only and reduced colleague travel are all new factors that need to be considered when implementing colleague wellness initiatives.
Wellness programmes need to be inclusive for all employees, no matter their gender, age, level of fitness or location. Colleagues need to feel comfortable taking part in a wellness programme. One of the benefits of delivering a wellbeing, yoga or desk yoga class, online is that colleagues can always turn their camera off.
Similarly, offering access to recorded classes can allow employees to benefit from the available sessions at a time that works for them.
Company wellness activities should also consider both supporting the physical and mental health of employees.
