10 WAYS TO CONVINCE RELUCTANT EMPLOYEES TO RETURN TO THE OFFICE
▶ With COVID-19 cases
falling and the vaccine
readily available across the
U.S., some employers have
realized having people in the
office is better for business.
Some employees are happy
to come back, but others are
not as willing. What's an employer
to do? You could force
people to come back, but
you don't want to lose good
employees - and it's better
for everyone if people don't
come back begrudgingly.
" We all know the oldschool
command-and-control
style of leadership
doesn't work any longer, and
that includes the issue of
determining where people
work, " says workplace trends
expert and author Rick
Grimaldi. " Instead of dragging
employees back against
their will, it's better to entice
them with a collaborative,
happy, innovative work environment
they can't resist. "
Here are a few tips from
Grimaldi for integrators to
convince reluctant employees
to return to the office:
1. Be sure everyone understands
the " why. " Be very
clear about your reasons for
bringing people back to the
office. When you level with
them about your reasoning
instead of giving a command
with no explanations, people
are more likely to respect
those reasons and comply.
2. If you have changed
your mind, address that.
Some companies are just
now seeing the value of having
people in the office. Be
honest about this. They will
appreciate your candor.
3. Make your workplace a
place they want to be. Employees
don't want to work
in offices with bad cultures.
Focus on building collegiate,
close-knit, trusting, inclusive
and uplifting teams that
inspire a sense of belonging
in people. When people feel
they have a " tribe " they will
want to come to work.
4. Add policies that make
sense for today's workplace.
Jettison those that don't.
Organizations found ways to
digitally transform overnight,
companies shifted to remote
work, and flexed to stay
afloat. Figure out which of
the new practices that you
adopted during the pandemic
are worth maintaining - and
which old practices you can
let go for good.
5. Talk with people
one-on-one to understand
