National Safety Month looks quite different this year than in years past. While worker safety should always be a priority for employers, protecting workers from COVID-19 should be a top priority in 2020 above all else.

Employers are facing many new challenges as employees transition to remote work environments. For some organizations, the transition has been seamless. For others, it has been more challenging maintaining and balancing productivity, engagement, morale, and open communication. 

Have you thought about how to most effectively manage, engage, and reward your newly remote employees to overcome these challenges?

As employees are challenged with being productive, communicating, and staying motivated working remotely, employers need to adapt engagement programs to address these new conditions.

Today, nurses are on the frontline of the COVID-19 pandemic sweeping the world, putting both their physical and mental health in jeopardy to help patients and at-risk populations. Saying thank you to nurses and healthcare workers is more important now than ever. One way we can help them in this time of need is by spreading awareness of their outstanding efforts and providing them with resources they need to help them take care of themselves as they care for patients.
