Return To Normal: How To Prepare For Resuming Business Operations

Most workplaces have needed to dramatically adapt their operations due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In our earlier articles, we have provided suggestions for how employers should manage their business during the pandemic, including best practices around layoffs.

Although the length of the pandemic is currently unknown, we know the Government of Alberta and other governments are now implementing plans to re-open the economy.  Alberta's approach begins now (the start of May) with the next phase tentatively set for May 14.  Additional phases will depend on the health conditions and use of resources in the province.  Employers should have policies and strategies to facilitate the transition back to normal operations. Planning now will help you protect your organization and your employees and ensure that you minimize costs.
