How organizations and their employees can tackle the ethics of returning to the office, by scott_dust
In organizations’ toolbox of mechanisms for decreasing the risk of infections are things like mandating vaccination, indoor mask-wearing, air filtration and improved ventilation, distancing and limits on capacity, sanitation of high-touch surfaces and increased hygiene, and temperature screening. Each of these levers has a cost—whether it be financial, employee well-being and goodwill, or otherwise.
This second scenario represents the moral rights perspective. This perspective suggests that if any decision does not respect everyone’s inalienable rights as a human being, then it is wrong to act. It feels wrong to push the onlooker. They are not inherently part of the trolley car operations. Plus, it feels too personal. While turning a steering wheel might feel more technical, pushing someone with your own hands feels morally gross.
This is typically the ethical mindset through which employees are viewing return to work decisions. Is it fair to ask me to come back to the office when I’m more productive at home? Is it fair to ask me to work in an environment that isn’t 100 percent safe? Is it fair to force someone to get vaccinated in order to go to work? These questions are moral rights questions to their core.is complicated.
In some cases, employees might acknowledge that it is in their best interest to forgo this moral rights perspective. For example, vaccinated employees may recognize that in some settings, returning to work might help the organization thrive, increasing the likelihood that they will have a stable job in the future. The same goes for organizations, such that some organizational leaders have committed to a remote-only work environment until further notice.
Ethics, just like life, is complicated. There’s no such thing as being right or wrong, it’s all in the eyes of the beholder. The sooner everyone recognizes this, the sooner we can agree to disagree and begin working towards collaborative solutions that respect the needs of all parties.
