While many companies, agencies and organizations began encouraging staff to return to the office when COVID-19 vaccines became widely available in early 2021, initial efforts proved futile with the arrival of new virus strains and resistance from staff who were enjoying the benefits of remote work.
Now, almost a year after the official end of the U.S. COVID-19 public health emergency, agencies are again considering whether to strongly encourage or mandate their employees to return to in-person office work more often. Some firms are more clearly establishing a set number of days per week or month that staff should be physically present in the office, with several even tracking office attendance through badge swipes or online check-ins.
