In today´s episode of ‘Professional Success Podcast’, host Sheila Boysen - Rotelli, a Master Certified Career Coach, Recruiter and Talent Development Leader talks about the transition of going back into the office after the pandemic.

Episode Highlights:

• A recent study done by PwC shows that many employees are concerned about the transition back to the office.
• Many people feel that they'll be less safe if they're forced to commute on public transportation, spend nine to five and close quarters with colleagues again.
• On top of health and safety concerns, many employees are also worried about losing the benefits of working from home and working remotely.
• There are ways that we can ease this transition.
• There are even some advantages of resuming work in office.

3 Key Points:

1. This transition can be a little bit easier to think about and things to be mindful about to make sure that you're taking care of yourself, and really tapping into that self-care during a time of what could be a big transition.
2. There are a lot of mixed feelings because working from home really did provide people with a way to continue to earn a living without risking exposure to the Coronavirus.
3. For many of those people who are already vaccinated the biggest concern is losing the benefits that come from working from home.
