Press release: Reaction to Prime Minister's announcement on lockdown restrictions being lifted Monday 05 July 2021 Daisy Hooper, Head of Policy at CMI, said: The return to the workplace isn't going to be easy. Our research shows a breakdown in trust between employers and employees on workplace safety. Many people also said they would consider resigning if remote working was no longer an option once restrictions are lifted. CMI supports hybrid working and employers need to develop flexible and inclusive ways of working in the post lockdown workplace. This will not only help employee well-being but also assist with recruitment, retention and productivity. Managers also need to focus on rebuilding trust and making the workplace return a positive experience. - Ends - Media contact: Anil Ranchod Head of Press and PR 02039206081 07969 984 001 anil.ranchod@managers.org.uk Notes to editors About the Chartered Management Institute The Chartered Management Institute (CMI) is the Chartered professional body for Management and Leadership, counting over 163,000 managers and leaders in its membership community.
