How HR Can Help Employees Safely Return to the Office
As local, provincial, and federal authorities lift the restrictions imposed around the COVID-19 pandemic, businesses are starting to prepare to reopen.
A recent Gallagher pulse survey of Canadian employers suggested that big numbers of companies may not be prepared to return to the workplace or know where to begin the process. In fact, only 26% have developed a return to workplace strategy and nearly half (47%) will continue their work from home policy weeks or months after stay-in-place orders are lifted.
In this HRchat interview, we hear from Melanie Jeannotte, CEO, Group Benefits Services, Canada at Gallagher Benefit Services Group about how and when companies should safely return to the workplace.
Melanie is responsible for expanding the division’s capabilities throughout Canada. She focuses on developing the business in four key areas – organic growth, mergers and acquisition, productivity, and the Gallagher culture.
