As most of Canada continues its reopening from coronavirus-related closures and vaccination figures reach key milestones, more employers are making plans to bring long-remote employees back to the office or physical workplace.
But how many companies have actually shared their plans with staff, and what’s encouraging some workers to make the return – and keeping others away?
In the latest edition of the Workforce Confidence Index – based on a regular pulse of 1,000+ members in Canada – we look at what employers are planning to do about reopening, and what the workforce has to say about it.
Nearly a third of employees still in the dark on office return:
- A majority of companies appear to be making concrete plans for a return to the workplace in the next six months, with 57% of respondents in Canada saying their employers have indicated that a return to the office or physical workplace will happen within that time frame.
- Just 10% have been told that they won’t be returning to the physical workplace within that period, while a further 33% of employees said they’ve been left in the dark, without clarity from their employers on whether this will happen.
