Back to the office
The current Government guidelines will see workers able to return to the office from September 20th 2021.
The Covid-19 Pandemic has affected everyone's life with big changes in how we work, socialise and relax.
There has been a real change in the life of the worker with home working being the norm for many for the past 18 months.
For many adapting to home working was easy; others found difficulties, especially because many people lacked suitable technological tools or weren’t able to use them correctly.
For others the problem was the internet connection not being stable.
The Government’s online consultation guidelines helped workers to adapt easier.
However, besides the disadvantages there were also many advantages of Remote Working.
It could help both workers and employers to save money, commuting time and giving a better work-life balance in many cases.
After over a year of home working it seems that Irish workers will finally see the light at the end of the tunnel with a return to the office.
Being back at the office will be good for interacting better with work colleagues, promoting learning and innovation.
Certainly not everything will be easy because of many restrictions that will have to be followed in order to avoid the spread of the Covid-19 virus and variants.
It will have to be a routine thing to learn to sanitize and wash hands often, physically distance and wearing face masks.
There will be a need for screens or most desks and common areas will have to be managed to ensure social distancing.
We at Office Supplies Ireland can supply you with a full range of PPE equipment and desk screens and partitions to make the return to the office safe and Covid compliant !
