COVID-19: How to Protect On-Site and Returning Employees
Gartner Legal and Compliance Research Team

"On-the-job employees—especially those in essential businesses like grocery stores, hospitals, medical device manufacturers and logistics and shipping services— run a higher risk of exposure to coronavirus, because in-person interactions are integral to most of these jobs. These workers may also face discrimination when they return to the workplace from self-isolation or medical leave recommended by public health authorities.

If left unaddressed, fear and unfair treatment can hurt employee morale, affect work quality and lead to erosion of trust in the organization. All employers need to consider how to keep employees safe and how to keep them physically and emotionally protected— even if everyone is working from home, these issues are likely to persist when offices reopen.
 
How you can help:
  • Offer flexible and creative accommodations for on-site staff
  • Reiterate your return policies to avoid discrimination and harassment
  • Continuously communicate how you are supporting your workforce"
