As the world begins to ease up on social distancing guidelines and implement phased re-openings, organizations are anticipating the challenge of ensuring compliance to ambiguous, evolving workplace guidelines.   

Employee Health and Safety First 

Employers, especially in the US, had already been largely responsible for the health and wellbeing of their employees. In the new post-COVID-19 world, employers have a crucial role to play to secure the health, safety and wellbeing of their workforce and the public as workplaces around the world reopen.  

After facing an unexpected and emotionally exhausting change in daily routine—some even coping with temporary job loss or learning to balance childcare and distance learning with their normal workload—employees are facing fear, anxiety and uncertainty over returning to the workplace. With the lack of vaccine or successful treatment, returning to the workplace is not without risk and your workforce knows it. In fact, 70% of employees working remotely said illness-related concerns would prevent them from returning to the workplace. 

Bringing a dispersed workforce back together raises concerns about exposure for vulnerable populations, adjusting to a new routine (again), the ability to maintain productivity, and the impact COVID-19 has and will continue to have on employees’ mental wellbeing.  

“To support their employees today and safeguard against future disruption, employers must act urgently and fast forward to a future where health, safety and wellbeing are managed as strategic, interconnected business priorities.” – David Osborne, Virgin Pulse CEO
