With the worst of the pandemic behind us, many organisations are looking to return to some semblance of pre-pandemic working practices. However, the last few years have irrevocably shifted the way people approach their work lives and that means that a simple 'back to the office' order won't cut it.

Detailed planning and effective communication are vital to ensuring a smooth transition and avoiding disruption to productivity and morale.
