Some CEOs are cautiously optimistic as they experience the Asian Pacific market moving towards recovery. Examples of their reentry planning included employees’ being given masks, sanitizer, and temperature scans upon reentering their office building.
While many CEOs would not require employees to return to the office until they were comfortable with the risk, others are very much looking forward to heading back to their offices and experiencing the energy their team brings to the workday.
As reentry policies are developed, many plans will be incorporating A/B models, whereby specific teams come in on assigned alternating days/weeks, limiting the overall number of people and reducing density in the office at any given time.
