Training Overview

How do you return to your workplace now? Learn the current employer guidelines and legal obligations.

With coronavirus case rates plummeting and government restrictions lifting, many organizations are asking team members to return to their workplaces. After a year of great social change, employees are not the same people, and workplaces will be different.

Some people may not be eager to return because:

  • A close friend or relative died from COVID-19
  • They have valid health-related concerns
  • Individuals working from home enjoy a non-commute lifestyle

You need to understand employers’ obligations and restrictions to develop and communicate a clear plan for returning to work.
