Government urged to provide clarity on when employees can return to the office

A new survey from Ibec shows nearly 4 out of 5 businesses could be back to the workplace by September, if Government guidelines allow

Of those, 21 percent are working to bring their employees back within the next three months.

Ibec CEO Danny McCoy says businesses should be allowed to gradually bring employees back in the Summer months:

"Traditionally September everyone's coming back to college school, lots more people returning from their summer holidays, into the work environment, it's important to stagger that out. Probably be criminal at the staggering involved office taking place after those again after they returned to school and gorgeous September, need to get ahead of that."
