Consider new WFH etiquette and policies.
Consider new WFH etiquette and policies.
The “new workplace” created by the pandemic has been a more relaxed workplace. Sweats and ponytails have replaced business-casual clothing and groomed hairstyles. Even important client meetings might take place within earshot of the family-room TV. But can — or should — this last? While the anything-goes style may suit some corporate cultures, others might need to move past “the great COVID pause” and start buttoning things up or setting a baseline for brand-compliant or standard behavior, especially for client-facing roles. This is particularly true as businesses phase in the return of workers to the office, where the contrast may be more visible between the WFH and the on-site crowd.
Considerations may include dress codes, videoconferencing background choices, noise levels and whether it’s mandatory to use a camera during a videoconference. During the crisis, it might have been a welcome stress relief for a meeting participant to wear a virtual-reality balloon hat or have a dog on her lap or hear a child practicing piano, but these distractions may begin to chafe as businesses take on the hard work of recovering from the downturn.
Security is a major factor for any new policy considerations. Hackers quickly jumped on vulnerabilities on the Zoom platform, suggesting that WFH tools and platforms represent a new attack vector. Even within the home, it’s impossible to know who’s within earshot when sensitive content is being discussed on a videoconference. Businesses may consider mandating the use of a headset to keep conversations private or even a private room with a door.
With so many workers at home, such decisions are uncharted territory, but organizations need to find the balance between the newly relaxed cultures spurred by the WFH mass migration and what suits their own brand message and security needs.
Not long ago, workers were clamoring to work from home. Now, even companies like Google are acknowledging that too much of a good thing can cause stress and burnout, and are providing resources to remote workers to ensure health and wellness. While not every company can afford to offer employees a $1,000 stipend to upgrade their home office as Shopify and Google have, one thing is certain: The next phase of WFH will be very different from the last one, as the black-and-white restrictions of the initial shutdown fade into gray areas of navigating the recovery. If we have learned anything from this crisis, it’s to have the tools in place to support approaches to work we would not have imagined before.
