Workplace management

A new partnership aims to support safe returns to the workplace through FDA-authorized testing.

The company's policies on safeguarding workers during the pandemic are being examined by California's attorney general, according to a court filing.

The company had previously said workers could stay home until the end of this year.

To ensure employees feel comfortable returning to the workplace, company leadership needs to know how they feel about coming back and what safety concerns they may have.

A good return-to-work solution should involve a mobile app or a screening survey that allows employees to perform a daily self-assessment, but this should work in tandem with virtual care or telehealth services.

Time spent on safety measures like handwashing won’t be counted against them under Amazon’s “Time Off Task” policy, which limits the number of unproductive minutes allowed in their day.

The more we understand what our culture was, the more we can understand what is happening to our culture now as employers make decisions about returning to work.

Amid national calls for change and a prolonged COVID-19 crisis, employers must retool their diversity, equity and inclusion strategies.

Businesses should make sure they have all the boxes checked in regard to business processes, employee pay and benefits, and safety before their employees return to work.

The digital workplace provider has designed a program that simplifies the compliance process for businesses while simultaneously ensuring that their workers are safe.
