Following the government instruction that people in England should start working at home again if they can, under plans to tackle the spread of the Omicron variant, Rockfine Director, Michelle, and Project Executive, Georgia, were interviewed by BBC News.

Michelle explains that Rockfine is adopting a work-from-home policy starting next Tuesday. She highlights the government’s support in allowing businesses flexibility to decide what’s best for their teams and operations. She also emphasised the balance between reducing virus transmission, ensuring employee wellbeing, and addressing the business need for teamwork and effective idea-sharing.

Georgia provides a perspective on the the personal feelings of employees navigating the challenges of uncertainty and restrictions. While she acknowledges the necessity of such measures, she expresses frustration over the frequent interruptions they cause. However, she hopes this period will still allow for some social interaction, unlike during previous lockdowns.

The article effectively captures the practical and emotional considerations of managing and working in a business during uncertain times, reflecting the broader struggles faced by companies and their staff in navigating public health measures.
