If your company is requiring you to come in soon, it’s helpful to start preparing for your return at least one week before, career coach Anyelis Cordero says.
If your company hasn't sent out detailed RTO guidelines, Woodward recommends emailing your manager or HR representative to find out what the expectations for employees are and any other information you need to ease the transition.
Employees should be prepared to ask their manager for accommodations that they need to work in an office including coming in late or leaving early for caregiving responsibilities or sitting further away from people due to health concerns.Commutes have changed a lot in the last two years, and you might be surprised how crowded the roads and public transit are as more people return to the office.
"We're all wired to spot the negative, so naturally, you're going to have a negative-scanning mindset heading back to the office," Woodward says."But if you have something on your calendar that you're excited about, it'll put you in a more positive mood."Some companies have relaxed their dress codes in the wake of the pandemic, but Cordero says to check in with an HR representative or ask a trusted co-worker what to wear.
Cordero also suggests bringing a packed lunch and snacks with you in case the restaurants you frequented before the pandemic have closed or you don't have time to step out of the office for lunch.You want to be your best, well-rested self before reuniting with your boss and co-workers — and if you have a long commute or a lot to do in the office, Cordero promises your body will thank you for the eight hours of rest.
