When COVID-19 became a pandemic, employers had to decide how to protect their workplaces while the economy slowed and employees worried about getting sick at work. This 90-minute webinar is an employer's guide to managing coronavirus in the workplace.
There is no one-size-fits-all answer. The right approach depends on the type of workplace, the work each employee does and how much legal risk the employer will accept.
You'll review what the coronavirus is and its symptoms, steps to fight viral infections at work, employment and labor law considerations, HIPAA and OSHA issues, CDC guidelines, remote work guidelines, wellness programs, travel, and how to talk with staff about the virus.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?
Employees need clear information to make good decisions about health issues that concern them and their families. This session outlines what employers need to know to keep staff calm and healthy, and gives direction on legal liability, employee travel, workplace safety standards and handling an outbreak.
It suits senior management, HR and payroll professionals, managers and supervisors, compliance and operations professionals, business owners and employees.
