Molson Coors decided to reopen its offices. Things got complicated.
Molson Coors Beverage Co. learned some lessons after bringing company employees back to their office in October. Color-coded bracelets can help colleagues signal openness to a hug. It is important to plan 10 minutes of travel time between meetings. And it’s tough to get some people into meeting rooms with masks if they can join a video call without a mask from the desk.
The company, which makes Coors Light and Miller Lite beers, closed its corporate offices in March 2020 when Covid-19 appeared, sending thousands of employees home. Early this year, the brewery began planning for the return.
