Transitioning Furloughed Employees Back to Work in Times of Covid-19
In recent months, many employers have had to deal with concerns over Covid as it relates to the health and safety of their staff/employees, but also as it has impacted their ability to service customers while still maintaining productivity and fluidity as a company from a revenue standpoint.
We understand that this takes a toll on employers both financially and from the standpoint of functionally keeping a business running with staff furloughed or out with the illness/quarantines. As you begin the process of transitioning furloughed employees back to work there are several things to consider when thinking about the process. A very important issue needing to be addressed is that many of these employees may have been inactive for a period due to layoffs and may not have maintained physical strength or ability to perform essential functions safely. As a result, they may be a risk to themselves or coworkers on the jobsite.
At WTRC we offer many services that can assist you in the overall process, whether it be pre-employment, or returning to work. Some of the services that may be of interest to you are:
