Despite many workers saying they feel trusted and that employers have done well in implementing working from home over the past month, almost half of workers expect a return to limited flexible working policies once the coronavirus lockdown ends. A study into the attitudes of employees who are usually not allowed to work remotely, or who only did so rarely prior to the Covid-19 outbreak, showed that 77% feel employers have done a good job handling the remote work transition.Flexible working and coronavirus

Do you have procedures and/or protocols of companies regarding the gradual return from work from home?
Leader/Directors will have no problem leading a remote workforce in the future.
Its the Manager/Administrators who cant trust themselves to work, who will present a problem.
Organisations who run on objectives rather than presenteeism, will become more effective, have a happier workforce, increase productivity, performance and profitas, as well as, will not damage the environment as much as those which insist on staff commuting.
Remote-working should definitely become The New Normal for office workers post Covid19.
Yes I agree many respondents are predicting their employers will walk away from the change they have formed once after crisis gets over.
