As companies begin the process of inviting employees back to the workplace, many of those workers may feel reluctant. I would like to share with you, through our valuable client feedback, the top 4 reasons why employees should want to return to the workplace.
- Socialization – To some degree, we have all seen how socialization plays an important role in ensuring the mental wellbeing of our family, friends, and colleagues. Perhaps you have seen this first hand, due to the effects of Covid-19 on our population.
- Inspiration & Validation – The primary benefit of a company’s workforce is the diversity of thought. When working with others, we gain valuable insights that promote creativity, teamwork, and improved quality/performance. Have you seen examples like this in your own organization?
- Balanced Routine – A workplace schedule promotes structure, allowing employees to have the added benefit of interacting with their coworkers. Many companies are now offering gym memberships, yoga, and mindful meditation to help create a healthier work life balance. Does your organization provide any additional benefits to help improve your routine?
- Career Advancement- Your physical presence in the office can increase your exposure to new and exciting opportunities. This exposure allows management to make more insightful decisions regarding your ability to advance. What ways can you increase your exposure within your organization?
While returning to the workplace is not an easy decision, we hope the four reasons listed above will allow for a more informed choice.
