Since the coronavirus pandemic began, one question has been on everyone\\u2019s minds: when can we go back to normal? When can we go back to work? Unfortunately, there\\u2019s a great deal of disagreement\\u2014even among workers who are concerned for their own safety.\\xa0
An ESG survey found that 36% of knowledge workers who are \\u201cextremely concerned\\u201d about their personal health and safety due to Covid-19 say they would prefer to return to the office compared to 49% of respondents who are \\u201cnot that concerned\\u201d or \\u201cnot at all concerned\\u201d with their personal health risk. In the meantime, the face of work is changing alongside reintegration. Employers are adopting new strategies to mitigate risk, from digital solutions to in-person measures.\\xa0
But these changes come with pressure. Employers are now viewed as humanitarian leaders responsible for keeping employees safe\\u2014and if they fail, the blowback can seriously harm the business\\u2019s future. Learning how to insulate your business and make the right decision for employees is essential as more employers return to work.\\xa0
