远程工作者的返回给IT主管带来了新的挑战

越来越多的公司与Apple Stores共享一个共同的问题。随着大流行复兴的到来，随着工人等待返回公司工作场所，技术可能是唯一的解决方案。 苹果商店最近试图重新开放，但由于持续感染COVID-19而不得不再次关闭。苹果在重新向公众开放后只花了几周的时间就关闭了零售店，使员工从家里回到了工作场所。随着冠状病毒病例的继续传播，许多公司可能会效仿。 对于那些第一次在正确的位置重新开设工作场所的企业来说，第二轮的情况应该很好。但是，其他难以解决操作问题的人可能会再次陷入混乱–尤其是在IT部门担心移植的在家工作的员工的情况下。 两种情况下都存在未解决的挑战。对于在现场和远程工作之间来回往返的公司而言，没有一个公式是理想的方法。从第一次过渡中汲取的经验教训表明，拥有正确工具和策略的公司将大为改善。

原文：A growing list of companies shares a common problem with Apple Stores. Technology may be the only solution as workers wait to return to their corporate workplace as the pandemic resurgence materializes.

Apple Stores recently tried to reopen but had to shut down again amid continuing COVID-19 infections. It only took a few weeks for Apple to close its retail stores after reopening to the public, sending its employees back to work from home. Many companies are likely to follow suit as coronavirus cases continue to spread.

For those business that got it right reopening their workplaces the first time around, they should be in pretty good shape for round two. But others that struggled to get a handle on operations will likely find themselves again in chaos -- especially where IT is concerned for the transplanted work-from-home employees.

Unsolved challenges exist in either scenario. No one formula is an ideal approach for companies going back-and-forth between in-person and remote work. The lessons learned from the first transition suggest companies with the right tools and strategies in place will be significantly better off.
