When workers are able to return to work after the worst of a pandemic outbreak is over, they will naturally have heightened concerns about their personal health and safety.

Because of the increase of health risks in general on top of COVID-19 still running rampant, constant vigilance is needed. As an office building owner or manager, it’s your responsibility to create a space that is safe for employees.

If you want your employees to be extra vigilant with their own personal health and safety when they return to work, start by being open with them about the risk they could face by going to work while they still have a runny nose and a scratchy throat.
