The new normal

As employees return, work will be distributed as and consist of a combination of remote and in-person work.

Facilitating the return to work will require thoughtful and deliberate choices in the face of uncertainty

What to consider…

▪ As an employer – how to plan and operationalize the return-to-work process, taking into account:• Preparations needed for the

workforce and the workplace• Support services including testing

and monitoring• The ongoing role of work from home

▪ As an ecosystem participant in the COVID testing process – how will participants collectively support this process and work in conjunction across the public and private sectors?

Other factors:

▪ Lockdown timelines▪ Government regulations▪ New workplace safety rules▪ Pace of return ▪ Scale and reliability of testing,

tracing, advances in treatment, and eventual vaccine development/deployment

Long term: Work itself will be reimagined as offline migrates to online (virtual services, automation), and demand for work and supply of talent is reassessed

The journey back will be a multi-step process

The post-COVID-19 ‘new normal’ will require new ways of thinking about work, the workforce, and ways of working. Organizations will need to consider demand for work, supply of talent, integration of remote work, and most critically, how to return to work in the safest way possible for the organization, its employees, and its customers.

Workforce preparedness plans holistically incorporate process expertise, data, and experience

Workforce preparation

plan

Ensure end-to-end coordination and visibility of COVID-19 testing including supply chain management (eg, testing kit availability, allocation), risk identification, and mitigation

Provide a clearinghouse of scientific and regulatory information (eg, test approvals), set up the right policies and processes, and establish robust business continuity planning

De-risk employee mobilization activities by leveraging a specialized team with full focus on COVID-19 testing strategy and execution

Expedite employee return to work more safely using:✓ Predefined processes and ecosystem relationships with partners (eg, test

manufacturers, testing labs, pharmacies, logistic providers)✓ Ready-to-plug systems template and infrastructure (eg, Microsoft, SFDC)

Health and Safety Protocols

▪ Temperature checks before entry▪ Contactless entry where possible▪ Elevators assigned by floor▪ Social distancing enabled and enforced at all

times (eg, dedicated and distanced desks, closed common areas, no cafeteria seating or closed cafeteria, staggered entrance and entry times)

▪ Split accounts and processes across areas and floors to support continuity

Essentials and Hygiene▪ Staff must have access to PPE, sanitizer, and

handwashing stations▪ Capacity of all facilities (eg, washrooms, water

stations) must sufficiently support all employees with social distancing in effect

▪ Dedicated assets (eg, headsets, keyboards)

Building Safety

▪ Physical building systems must be tested and potentially upgraded following vacancy (eg, ventilation, fire alarms)

▪ Building procedures, such as evacuation plans, must be revised to prevent mingling

▪ Availability of emergency services must be confirmed

Communication and Awareness

▪ Posters and information on notice boards and common places

▪ Awareness on dos and don’ts▪ Consistent communication plan for all

employees returning to work about changes to workplace

Soft Services

▪ Focus on cleaning and disinfectant procedures

▪ Some facilities like gyms, play zones, crèches, and rest areas to be closed

▪ Updated guidelines for usage of areas like cafeterias, lobbies, receptions, pantries, parking areas, and medical rooms, to be shared and instituted consistently

The workplace itself must look, feel, and be managed differently before employees can return
