Are you considering opening your office soon but debating when is the right time to do so. Balancing the need for commercial continuity with the necessity to keep your employees safe and mitigating anxieties where you can?
Joseph Grenny (Leading Social Scientist and New Yorks Times Bestselling Author) and his colleagues spent 30 years conducting research into behavioral change within the work place.
In his recent article in the Harvard Business Review he submits that the more pertinent consideration to opening safely is not when to reopen but how you reopen. A process that will inevitably require the forming of new norms and practices.
It will rely on getting all of us to do these things, every time, for however long it takes. And that doesn’t happen unless those who see someone drop the ball speak up and remind them.
