What’s it like getting back to the office after a global pandemic? Many companies across the U.S. have begun the transition back into the office, including at Barton Associates, where our employees are expected to work in the office every day of the week. This blog is designed to highlight the positives of (safely) ditching remote work to return to the office, and expel some of the fears you might be facing.

Reclaim Your Work-Life Balance

Working from home may seem like a blessing at first, but it can quickly become exhausting as the lines between work and personal time become blurred. For some it’s hard to stay focused with kids, family members, or roommates constantly drawing their attention away from work; others might find themselves working well past their normal scheduled hours and on weekends since their work is always home with them. By separating your work from your personal life, you can regain some of the balance that you may have lost over the past few months. 

Get Back Into Your Routine

Chilling on your couch in sweatpants every day can be a huge perk of remote work for some people, but let’s be real—it definitely feels nice to put on a respectable outfit and get cleaned up for work! Maybe you have a nice blouse that’s been stuffed away in your closet or you decided to treat yourself to some retail therapy during quarantine. Either way, taking the time to do your hair and put on an outfit that doesn’t pass for pajamas will feel great.

Return to Work with a Fresh Perspective

Coming back to your office—or entering a new office if you switched jobs recently—presents the perfect opportunity to reorganize your set up and approach work with a new mindset. Try changing up the layout of your workspace by moving your monitor, switching out old decorations for new ones, or even moving your workspace entirely if you can do so while socially distancing. You might also want to reconsider how you set up your day in terms of completing tasks—now that you’re back in the office, how can you organize your work week to increase your overall productivity?

Know What to Expect in Terms of Changes

Although regulations may vary by state, every company’s top priority continues to be ensuring a safe and sanitary work environment for its employees as laid out by the CDC. At Barton Associates, we work diligently to create a safe and comfortable environment for our employees. Check with your employer to make sure you understand what safety precautions are in place for your return and stay updated on any changes that may occur as restrictions are lifted.
