COVID\u002D19: To return to work, businesses must bridge a ‘readiness’ gap
While uncertainty around next steps remains, the last several months have also produced — for large enterprises and small businesses alike — a growing catalogue of informed processes and tools to get Canadian workers back to the workplace.
In July, Statistics Canada reported that once the pandemic has subsided, almost one-quarter of businesses expect employees working remotely could account for a tenth or more of their workforce. In the information, professional, scientific and technical services sectors, upwards of 40 per cent of businesses expect to see the same change. Even more strikingly, for Canadian businesses that see remote work as viable for their organization, 14.3 per cent were likely to require working from home.
A recent Conference Board of Canada survey provides a snapshot of how leaders across various industries plan to approach the return to the workplace. Only eight per cent of organizations surveyed indicated they were fully prepared to reopen workplaces. In stark contrast to this unreadiness, 40 per cent of employers stated they will require remote staff to return to the workplace in some capacity.
