The business world continues to change in response to the COVID outbreak and work from home orders. Though initial predictions saw us back to work in June or July, we are now approaching half a year in our home offices.

Understandably, April and May had us rushing to get employees connected, June and July represented the adjustment and ramp-up period, and August and September showed how employees adapted, but one may ask, “what’s next?” Building resiliency in your workforce.

Building a Healthy, Resilient Workforce

Winter is on the horizon, and much like a traditional office landscape, HR leaders are putting significant effort into planning benefits, encouraging healthy habits, and employee wellness. From coaching your workforce through insurance enrollment remotely to discovering new ways to engage and empower your staff, 2020 continues to put immense pressure on the HR department.

How will you encourage healthy habits with temperatures dropping and days becoming shorter? How can you reduce the stress that could come from Zoom fatigue and other remote work stressors? How can you support work-life balance and help employees take control of their mental and emotional health?

We’re excited to announce that our very own Human Resources Director, Colleen Klehr, will be joining other esteemed panelists at a Crain’s Content Studio and Cigna webcast on October 6.
