Most employees feel safe returning to the office

Table 4: The participants' opinion on returning to the office

After the peak of the pandemic, 66 out of 81 respondents feel safe returning to the office. This suggests people are satisfied with the efforts made by their company to ensure safety at work. Communicating the extent of these safety and hygiene protocols is essential in assuring employees who were forced to stop working or forced to work remotely that they are safe in a post COVID-19 workplace. It is then the responsibility of the venues and companies to ensure that these safety measures are also applied at external meeting facilities. From the number of respondents, 11.1% are rather unsure whether it is safe to go back and will therefore need this extra communication and effort to convince them of this.
