As America prepares to return to work, employers are facing
new human resources issues like never before. Some new situations
require new solutions, but it is important for employers to
remember that the basics still apply and often provide the best
solution.
This article addresses several new issues employers will face as
America reopens and employees return to work. Of course, those
employers who are part of a Critical Infrastructure Sector have
heroically soldiered on through the entire pandemic. Of the others,
some have remained open but have had some or all employees working
remotely, while still others curtailed all or most operations.
Employers who made changes will now 'un-make' them, but
those employers who experienced the most drastic changes to their
operations since March also may experience the greatest reopening
shocks in the coming weeks and months.
