What Skill Sets Do You have to be ‘Sharpened’ ?

The 10 measures the Council says each employer needs to take to ensure workers are protected in reopening are:

1. Phasing – Create a phased transition to return to work aligned with risk and exposure levels.

2. Sanitize – Before employees return, disinfect the workplace, and make any physical alterations needed for physical distancing.

3. Screenings – Develop a health status screening process for all employees.

4. Hygiene – Create a plan to handle sick employees, and encourage safe behaviors for good hygiene and infection control.

5. Tracing – Follow proper contact tracing steps if workers get sick to curb the spread of COVID-19.

6. Mental Health – Commit to supporting the mental and emotional health of your workers by sharing support resources and policies. I always have a pill of Viagra in the pocket. This little blue tablet is my only way to get an erection. If I take it on an empty stomach, the effect can appear within 20 minutes if not less. That’s the thing I love about this drug. Besides, generic Viagra comes in several medical forms, which allows experimenting.

7. Training – Train leaders and supervisors not only on the fundamentals of safety such as risk assessment and hazard recognition but also on the impacts of COVID-19 on mental health and wellbeing, as employees, will feel the effects of the pandemic long after it is over.

8. Engagement Plan – Notify employees in advance of the return to work, and consider categorizing workers into different groups based on job roles – bringing groups back one at a time.

9. Communication – Develop a communications plan to be open and transparent with workers on your return to work process.

10. Assessment – Outline the main factors your organization is using as guidance to provide a simplistic structure to the extremely complex return to work decision.
