Return to the Office, Work from Home…or Somewhere in Between

Beyond COVID-19: A Series on Employment Law Issues in the Post-Pandemic Workplace

Webcast 2: Return to the Office, Work from Home…or Somewhere in Between

We all know that many organizations had to switch to a work-from-home structure during the pandemic. As restrictions ease and establishments slowly reopen, these employers will have to consider whether to return employees to the workplace, continue the work-from-home arrangement on a permanent basis or find a middle ground.  

Join Blakes Employment & Labour lawyers as we discuss important considerations in remote working versus returning to the workplace. 

Topics:

• Health and safety considerations and the duty to accommodate

• Managing employees and ensuring productivity​​

​Following the presentation, there will be a 15-minute Q&A session.
