Minnesota businesses struggle with back-to-work plans

Keystone client, Brin Glass Co., and Jaime Taets share what company leaders can do to build a collaborative work environment as companies start transitioning back into the office.

“Nobody knows the right answer for your business or ever for what’s going to happen next,” said Taets. “But we can’t stand in paralysis on this because I think for a lot of business leaders, this is almost like a second wave of like the stress of the pandemic.”

Taets said many companies are surveying their employees about what they want to see in reconfigured work environments, asking what would make them feel safe. She said people seem evenly split on whether they want to continue doing their jobs from home or return to the building.
