Good morning, communicators:

The return to the workplace is proving a much more difficult challenge than the overnight shift to remote operations in March of 2020.

In part, complications from the Delta variant are making it difficult to manage the return to the workplace, but that’s not the only roadblock according to leaders at some of Silicon Valley’s top businesses.

AP reported:

“I thought this period of remote work would be the most challenging year-and-half of my career, but it’s not,” said Brent Hyder, the chief people officer for business software maker Salesforce and its roughly 65,000 employees worldwide. “Getting everything started back up the way it needs to be is proving to be even more difficult.”

The uncertainty continues for many organizations and the role of communicators will continue to play a crucial role as organizations chart their way to the future of work.
