SOME business leaders are urging companies to examine their individual situation, and have employees who are now working from home resume duties at the physical plants safely, and as is necessary.
Pandohie said employees should also consider that it may be beneficial to assist workers with preparing their home environment with the necessary tools for work.
Former head of the Private Sector Organisation of Jamaica, speaking in his capacity as a leader in the business sector, Howard Mitchell, also believes the expiration of the work-from-home order should not necessarily be interpreted as compulsion for all workers to physically return to their posts.
“What it [return to work] should be interpreted as is the extent to which it can be done,” he said, noting at the same time that work-from-home arrangements can benefit both employer and employees.
Last Monday, Prime Minister Andrew Holness advised that the work-from-home orders will be lifted to allow people to return to work as of June 1.
