Someone I'm close to is an exec in the architecture and engineering industry and during covid told me that companies are going to go back to office because of the nightmare dealing with these kinds of issues.
He made the point that, what happens if your employee gets hurt working from home? It's a silly example but the employer could be liable for some reason since the employer could have failed to provide a "safe working environment".
Not sure if this actually could happen in reality, but an employer has to think about these possibilities and determine the risk (and mgmt overhead) of remote vs in person
- FireBeyond 3y agoMy ex-employer actually covered that, had verbiage along the lines of "a safe and comfortable" working environment at home. To their credit, though, if you were concerned about something, you could ask. (But then, how far does that go? A non-slip mat? Shelving? Rewiring your home for old electrical?)
