Overcoming Isolation During COVID-19 and Beyond
While we may not yet have a cure for COVID-19, we do have a cure for the isolation, fear, and anxiety that many of us are experiencing as a result.
The advent of the COVID-19 pandemic has left many businesses scrambling to determine how to best protect employees while still keeping the lights on. We’ve created this valuable tool in order to help business leaders develop flexible HR solutions for these uncertain times.
This tool is broken into two steps, which will allow you to determine how and when each individual employee should be offered remote or flexible work options. Begin with the Remote Options Tool, which will enable you to determine the viability of remote work options for each individual employee by assigning them one of four classifications. You can then use the Contingency Tool to identify which options to offer each individual employee, depending on their capacity for remote work.
Please note that the information contained in these tools should not be used as a substitute for consulting a trusted HR professional or employment attorney. Remember to adhere to any guidelines issued by your federal, state, or local governments, and use discretion when making these important decisions with such a major impact on employee wellbeing.
