Staff engagement key for return to work policies, advises lawyer

Newly rebranded law firm Holmes says any new post-Covid policies must consider the need to compete for talent in an increasingly global market  

Harry Fehily, managing partner, with Sandra Egan, partner, of law firm Holmes, newly rebranded from Holmes O’Malley Sexton, with offices in Dublin, Limerick, Cork and London.

Engaging staff in creating policies for a return to the workplace and data protection are some of the legal questions employers really need to consider.

Michael Murphy, a partner with newly rebranded law firm Holmes (previously Holmes O'Malley Sexton LLP), is currently advising a number of leading companies on the legal questions raised by the way the world of work has changed in the past year. The gradual return to the office will need far greater consideration than the hurried exodus imposed by Covid.
