DON'T RUSH. That's our recommendation to organizations thinking about returning to work, returning to the office, returning to normal. Your highest priority should be the health and safety of your people. Figure out WHY people NEED to be in the office, WHAT staff desire, then figure out WHO, before you figure out HOW. The COVID risk cant be reduced to zero. Whatever you do now will be remembered and affect your brand for decades to come. Meredith Thatcher

Remote Working and Pandemic Preparedness Are you prepared for 100% of your employees to become remote workers? COVID-19 is circling the globe and there is much doom and gloom in the media. Many organizations have done a great job of preparing themselves for remote working, but even more havent. With more than 50% of companies without any flexible work policy or operational infrastructure, there will be significant scrambling over the coming weeks and months. There is opportu...nity as well - with necessity being the mother of invention. LARGEST FLEXIBLE WORKING PILOT EVER - Remote working will expose many more companies to the opportunities of flexible working, but it will also highlight those that have not prepared. Are people trained? Do they have the necessary technology and collaboration tools? Can everyone successfully access systems remotely - at the same time? INNOVATION - Heightened remote working will also spotlight your great managers and innovative team members and increase everyones comfort and skills with mobile technology; on the flip side, it will also expose weak management and those who are inexperienced or untrained in managing distributed teams EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE - The leaders of the organization will be gauged by their EQ (Emotional Intelligence): Can you recognize your emotion as it happens?; What are your standards of honesty and integrity?; Will you remain optimistic despite obstacles?; Do you understand the feelings, fears, needs and wants of others, and is your communication style authentic and proactive? HYPER FOCUS ON STRATEGY Strategic thinkers will be necessary as every part of our daily life will be affected. How will you continue to deliver on your strategy when the markets are down, manufacturing is stalled, travel is banned, and fear is driving hoarding of critical supplies? The strategic thinkers will already be planning how to drive their business forward and will sustain this momentum when COVID-19 has run its course. During times of change, leaders typically focus on whats happening with the business, but your employees will be focusing on whats happening to them. As workplace and change readiness leaders with expertise in enabling a mobile workforce, AWE is ready to help you prepare quickly, efficiently and calmly with its virtual solutions.

In our experience, while some companies allow remote working, many have not developed a framework that encompasses HR, IT tools, workplace solutions for when in the office, nor robust training for both the workers and the leaders. AWE can help!

Many studies are showing that for 90%+/- of people being surveyed that being able to have choice in where, when and how they work is their #1 perk. Great to hear that Harvard backs it up!

Canada Labour Code - Flexible Work Arrangements Effective 1 September 2019 With 6 months under their belt, an employee, in an organization governed by the Canada Labour Code, can request changes in the number of hours, their work schedule, and/or their work location.... A partial or full refusal must be communicated in writing and justified on the following business needs: the request would create additional, burdensome costs for the employer; there would be a deterioration in the quality or quantity of the work and the employers ability to satisfy customer demands; the employer could not compensate by reorganizing the work among other employees or hiring new employees; and if the employer granted the request, the employee in question would not have enough work. The employer is not allowed to reprise against an employee for requesting flexible work arrangements. We can help! AWE has software that will help you get ahead of the rush and help determine employee preferences for flexible work and support the justification to grant or refuse requests. #flexiblework #agilework #canada #changes
