The threat of the pandemic has slightly subsided in the past month, and now businesses are preparing for their grand reopening. However, companies need to be careful about when they reopen, how they bring employees back into the office and be cognizant of necessary changes needed for the post-pandemic future.
This means adjusting and updating the technology we use, work culture, policies and practices. For instance, Salesforce allows operations to be conducted from virtually anywhere in order to work more sustainably and offer a better employee experience
Salesforce has already opened 26 of its offices around the world during the pandemic, and is using that experience as part of their return-to-the-workplace strategy.
“As companies rethink what agile teams and ways of working look like, future employee experiences will likely be more empowering through more flexible working arrangements and more immersive with reimagined workspaces,” said Gavin Patterson, President and Chief Revenue Officer at Salesforce.
Employees will now use the physical office for team-building and collaborative work, while working from home can be reserved for more focused work.
