Common Workplace Return Challenges
Whether it’s people returning to desks or going back out into the field, all workplace returns will share common challenges:
- Maintaining business continuity.
- Protecting the safety of both employees and customers.
- Improving processes in this new environment.

This process will happen at different paces with different emphases for everyone, and they will not be completely linear—agility in course correction will be crucial. Everyone will learn as they go, continually addressing challenges as they evolve.
