Some of the options employers are considering include offering nannies, finding daycare spaces or allowing more flexible working hours

CALGARY – Wendy Giuffre’s phone has been constantly ringing with calls from nervous employers trying to figure out how they can bring their employees back to work as COVID-19 restrictions begin to ease.

In addition, 40 per cent of the 279 survey respondents said they “will require employees currently working remotely to return to the workplace in some capacity” in the future. Multiple human resources consultants and employment lawyers said companies are trying innovative ways to handle employee concerns, including renting out parking lots so staff can drive rather than take public transit, because of fears about disease transmission in close quarters.

“The best and easiest way to take pressure off is to take your time on the physical return to work,” he said.Brian Thiessen Data show the current recession has been particularly hard on women, with higher numbers of female employees affected by layoffs than male employees. As employees encounter troubles with childcare when called back to work, economists are concerned the burden of staying home or demanding flexible work hours will fall more often on female employees.

However, Levitt said, “a lot of employers are desperate to get people back to work,” and if a company goes out and finds a daycare, a day camp or a nanny, then those employees are no longer able to refuse a return to work.
