Businesses demand clarity on return to office-based work

'Employers need to plan for workplace training and induction, organise cleaning and other services'

Chambers Ireland: 'Given the increased virulence of the Delta strain, detailed guidance from Government regarding adequate ventilation in workplaces is needed.'

Business groups have said a firm date for the return of office-based work and updated guidelines are essential to allow them time to prepare workplaces, including employee induction and training.

The Government is to publish the latest update to its roadmap that is expected to include guidelines for the return of live entertainment and the return to office work.
