Evalu-8 HR Software has been featured in i-FM, a UK publication covering facilities management and workplace news.
The article, RTO Mandates: Can HR and FM Cope?, was written by Josh McNicholas from Evalu-8 and discusses the pressures businesses may face when asking employees to return to the office more regularly.
With some employers introducing stricter office attendance rules, HR and facilities management teams have a lot to think about before these changes are introduced.
For HR teams, this can mean handling questions from employees, reviewing flexible working arrangements and making sure everyone understands what is expected of them.
Facilities managers have a different set of concerns, including whether there are enough desks, meeting rooms and other facilities to accommodate more people being in the office.
The article discusses why both departments need to be involved in decisions about office attendance, rather than leaving one team to deal with the consequences afterwards.
It also considers how increased attendance could affect the day-to-day running of an office, particularly if businesses have reduced their office space or changed how it is used since the pandemic.
For employers planning changes to working arrangements, speaking to both HR and facilities management teams beforehand can help identify problems that might otherwise be missed.
