As employers prepare to welcome employees back to their offices, it’s critical that employers prepare their staff for the “new normal” at work. Communicating new safety expectations in advance helps employees familiarize themselves with changes like different schedules and new safety protocols that involve wearing personal protective equipment (PPE) and increased spacing of workstations. 

When you think of employee safety, you may envision hard hats and safety goggles, but modern safety goes well beyond PPE. Today’s most effective safety programs also include wellness components: walk breaks, mental health resources, and a culture of care. The link between wellness and safety isn’t just anecdotal—it’s backed by data.
