Keeping Employees Healthy
POST COVID-19
by Alex Gurtis
On March 11th, the World Health Organization declared
COVID-19 a global pandemic and an international health
crisis. The result has been a series of shutdowns and confusing
roadmaps for individuals and businesses trying to navigate a new normal.
COVID-19 has impacted every area of our lives and focused our attention
on health and wellness like never before.
For offices ready to reopen, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC)
offers regularly updated recommendations, including: conducting daily
health checks and hazard assessments, encouraging employees to wear
cloth face coverings, implementing policies and practices for social
distancing and improving building ventilation systems.
