Over the last few months we have seen the way we work change dramatically, and as employers look to adapt their businesses to the ‘new normal’, work will not look like it did at the start of 2020.

Over the last few months, there’s been much talk of a revolution in working patterns. The focus has – understandably – been on where people are working, and how effective and productive they can be while working from home.

Most HR professional are more than aware of the challenges Covid-19 represents and the power it has to compromise productivity in both offices and factories.

Economic, social and political commentators concur – just about everyone in business and industry is in for a turbulent time as we emerge from economies across the world being locked down.

While there are lots of positives about working from home, one thing that’s been missing is time spent with colleagues, many of whom we call friends.

As a result of Covid-19, for the first time in a very long time, cleanliness beats taste for consumers eating out of home. That means for your people, who are either still at work or thinking about returning, eating at work could be a source of anxiety.
