Planning for a Safe Return to Work with Rebecca Ray, Conference Board

Join Michael and Robin as we chat with Rebecca Ray, Executive Vice President, Human Capital of The Conference Board on Thursday, May 7, 2020 at 1 PM ET to discuss developing a plan for returning to work from Covid-19. 

As Human Resource leaders begin planning for the gradual reopening of the economy, they and their teams face a daunting task: creating a new workplace where employees can be both safe and effective. Achieving that will mean adjusting – and in many cases, upending – several processes in HR.

To help Human Resource leaders determine the various factors and suggested steps to take, The Conference Board has developed a planning tool that features three essential checklists. Each focuses on a different phase in the reset and recovery timeline: Assessment, Preparation, and Return. The planner and accompanying report are free to the public and can be used by both US and international Human Resource teams. 

In the episode, we will discuss:

1.  The assessment phase - how to get started
2.  The preparation phase - getting your plan ready
3. The return phase - getting real in the workplace
