Manage Safety Against Business Needs While Returning to Work
Imagine a seesaw. On one end is the physical and mental well-being of your employees; on the other is your need to maximize company success and productivity. In normal times, these two would be perfectly balanced and your seesaw horizontal. But the pandemic has made every aspect of life unstable, including the equilibrium of this previously harmonious relationship. Medical reports and new company guidelines can spike employee anxiety, while revenue needs can cause your business stability to seesaw unpredictably.

Telemedicine: How to Overcome Employee Concerns
In recent years, telemedicine has become more and more important as a care platform.

How to Work Ergonomically From Your Home Office
When the pandemic began, millions of employees like yours were instructed to work from home while having little experience in doing so. While some are now being asked to return to the workplace, other employees will keep working remotely indefinitely, either to reduce risk of COVID-19 infection or simply as a matter of preference.
Continuing to work remotely can pose challenges to your company’s employees. Many do not have the proper office setup to promote working ergonomically at home, and that can take its toll. When working from home and being restrained to a small physical space, individuals can get deconditioned, a more medical way to say “out of shape.” As a clinician, I hear patients tell me, I’m out of breath, or my lower back hurts, or my wrists hurt; these can all result from poor at-home desk ergonomics. Similarly, by blurring the lines between office life and home life, working remotely can cause psychological issues such as confusion and anxiety.
To help prevent these issues from occurring with your workers, I’ve created some ergonomic tips you can share with your employees to help them be as productive and comfortable as possible.

Black Lives Matter.
The events all across our country the last weeks have been profoundly disturbing, punctuated with the killings of George Floyd in Minnesota, Ahmaud Arbery in Georgia and Breonna Taylor in Kentucky. We also saw blatant displays of racism such as the incident in Central Park. These horrific events accompany a resurgence of open intolerance and racism of all kinds in our society. All of these appear against the backdrop of the global pandemic that has hit black and brown communities in disproportionate ways.
