Coronary pandemic due to the set national telework recommendation expires on Friday.

At the end of the telework recommendation, the responsibility for safe work will be transferred more strongly to the workplace.

Senior researcher at the Finnish Institute of Occupational Health Pia Perttula advises on returning to work. He recalls that even if the recommendation expires, teleworking can still be continued. There are many researched benefits of teleworking, such as time savings and easier reconciliation of work and family.

That is why workplaces need to consider their milestones from now on, although many are probably already preparing for the end of the teleworking in good time.

Perttula emphasizes rich and open communication, open to all members of the work community. The employer must ensure that all employees are informed in good time of future work patterns.

“Every workplace, for example, has to consider whether it is possible to attend meetings remotely or what are the things where everyone needs to be in the same place,” says Perttula.

According to Perttula, the wishes of employees in the hybrid time should be discussed with the staff. Ultimately, the decision on hybrid-time practices rests with the employer, but it is important for employees to be consulted.

“There must be room for asking questions and concerns, because solutions for safe local work are made through them,” says Perttula.

To the office a person returning after a long break should be prepared for many things that may have been forgotten. For example, there may be a surprising rush in a workplace canteen or coffee room, and moving to meetings at the office takes more time than remotely. That is why it is worth leaving room for calendars, Perttula advises.

In general, time must be allowed for a return to local work, even though the transition to it at the beginning of the epidemic may have been just the opposite. The epidemic has burdened people in different ways, which must be taken into account when returning to local work.

Perttula reminds that the change takes time to deal with issues and introduce possible new ways of working. Still, he says employers shouldn’t worry about labor productivity.

“Even if the place where the work is done changes, the same professionalism and competence will still be used to do the work.”

Own their numbers are more recent workers who may have become part of the work community during an epidemic. They may not have an understanding of workplace practices before times of exception.

In such a situation, Perttula emphasizes orientation.

“Familiarization with workplace activities is necessary when the form of work changes. It is good to recall the existing practices. ”
