Return to the Office: A Workforce-Focused Approach

Return to the Office: A Workforce-Focused Approach

Webinar on May 7 at 1:00 p.m. to 1:45 p.m.

(A webinar link will be emailed to you a day before the event.)

The pandemic health emergency has forced millions of office workers to adapt to home-based telework for an extended period. As physical distancing and science-based guidelines result in manageable public health outcomes, companies are beginning to think about how to re-open workplaces. How can we make employees feel safe and healthy in their work environment so they can productively rebuild the economy?

Join industry experts and the Center for Real Estate Entrepreneurship of the George Mason University School of Business in a discussion of strategic and tactical issues for our transitional return to the office.
