（2020年12月21日，/HRoot.com/）近日，根据澳大利亚瀚纳仕发布的最新调查显示，在澳大利亚远程办公的专业人士中，有超过一半（51％）的受访者表示，他们仍然不认为重返办公场所是“安全和放心”的。

调查发现，西澳的员工最有信心，其中73％的远程办公人员已经重返办公场所，或者计划在未来三个月内返回。

维多利亚州的员工最没有信心，仅有32％的受访者对于重返办公场所感到安全和放心。

同时，接受调查的专业人士中有55％表示他们在疫情期间中在家工作。

瀚纳仕澳大利亚和新西兰董事总经理Nick Deligiannis表示：“毫无疑问，新冠疫情迫使远程办公的人数大幅增加。但是，对于雇主来说，新的挑战是许多员工害怕返回公共办公场所。由于疫情仍在传播，雇主让员工重返工作岗位可能会导致他们的员工不愿意再回来。”

Deligiannis补充道：“新一波疫情爆发的可能性确实是非常现实的问题，因此，即使是已经开始让员工重返工作岗位的雇主也发现，在对新冠疫情有更多了解之前，保持社交距离以及灵活的工作安排将有可能需要保持不变。鉴于此，雇主需要集中精力确保管理者具备领导混合办公团队所需的技能，确保员工觉得自己可以在这样的情况下有效工作。因此，管理者需要定期与员工进行沟通、保持公开透明、提供灵活性并持续反馈，以使得混合团队保持工作畅通。”

AUSTRALIA - MORE THAN HALF OF EMPLOYEES NOT COMFORTABLE IN RETURNING TO WORKPLACE: HAYS

(Dec.21, 2020, /staffingindustry.com/)Just over half, 51%, of professionals in Australia who have been working remotely do not yet feel ‘safe and happy’ to return to their co-located workplace, according to a survey of more than 3,000 working professionals by Hays Australia.

The survey found that Western Australians were the most confident, with 73% of those who have worked remotely either already back in their co-located workplace or planning to return in the next three months.

At the other end of the spectrum, those in Victoria are the least confident, with 32% feeling safe and happy to return to their workplace.

Meanwhile, 55% of professionals surveyed say they have worked from home during this crisis.

“There’s no doubt that Covid-19 has forced a significant upswing in the number of people who have been able to work remotely,” Nick Deligiannis, Managing Director of Hays in Australia & New Zealand, said. “But a new dilemma for employers is that of staff who are afraid to return to their co-located workplace. With the virus still in circulation, employers who call their staff back to work may find that their employees are not comfortable returning.”

“The potential for new waves of infections is certainly very real, therefore even employers who have started transitioning staff back to the workplace find that social distancing and therefore flexible working arrangements will likely need to remain in place until more is known about Covid-19,” Deligiannis added. “Given this, employers need to focus on ensuring managers are equipped with the skills they need to lead a hybrid team. It’s also important to make sure employees feel they can work effectively in such a setup. Communicate regularly, be transparent, offer flexibility and provide ongoing feedback to make hybrid team working a success.”
