Why Focusing on Workplace Safety is Critical to Post-Pandemic Return

As more businesses begin to welcome workers back to the office, demonstrating a safe and healthy work environment is vital to earning trust and acceptance of the “new normal.”

Writing for CoreNet Global’s: The Pulse, Mehdi Jalayerian and Julie Lardenoit shared insights on how to alleviate worker concerns about returning to the traditional work environment. In their article “Workplace Safety and Credibility: Critical to the Post-Pandemic Return,” they outlined how pursuing building certifications, like the WELL Health-Safety Rating, while also adopting touchless technologies and greater attention to indoor air quality can go a long way toward gaining confidence and support from workers. The article also looks at how COVID-19 is likely to impact designs for office spaces and buildings for years to come.
