Back to Work

Notify Employees of Back-to-Work Information

Typically, once a department manager determines the employee who are returning and their phases, the space manager examines the occupancy plan to check that employee seating meets current guidelines. The space manager might need to move employees and place them in new locations, such as moving to a new desk if their current location is too close to other employees. Once the new occupancy plan is final, the department manager can notify employees of the return to work status.

You can use this feature for all types of situations:

  • employees retaining their current seat
  • employees moving to new seats
  • employees who will be booking hotelable rooms on a day-by-day basis
  • employees who will be permanently remote

Procedure

  1. Load the Space / Space Inventory / Department Manager / Mark Employee for Return to Work task.
  2. As necessary, use the filter to restrict to a select set of employees. For information, see Mark Employee for Return to Work.
  3. Select the check boxes of a set of employees, and click the Send Email button.

Default message

For each selected employee, the following email message is generated:

E-mail Subject: Your return to work information E-mail Body: Your Department Manager has updated your return to work information.
