The reality is that for a variety of reasons COVID-19 will be with us for the foreseeable future. Organizations planning to reopen must communicate how they intend to do so safely. The requirements placed on organizations by local, state and federal agencies for safely returning a workforce to the office can be complicated and time consuming to implement. Meridian, and its strategic partners, can help your organization develop and implement a plan to safely resume your onsite activities. Since the onset of COVID-19 in 2020, members of the Meridian Team have successfully provided front line assistance to public and private sector entities. We are ready to help your organization redefine its new normal. Conducting a post-return Confidence Survey provides feedback from the workforce that can be used by management to assess sustainability of the return to work strategy. It provides an opportunity for management to identify measures that may be too extreme and elevate lingering concerns. Following up with this survey will provide a good tool for comparison with the perceptions and climate observations identified in the pre-return Employee Survey. The Meridian Team is composed of highly experienced Emergency Managers, Law Enforcement, Engineering, and Business Continuity professionals who have held senior leadership positions during many of the significant disasters in the past twenty years. This vast experience can support any organization implement a risk-based business continuity program that will enhance its overall effectiveness. Meridian and its colleague, Ackcellent Consulting, can assist with risk management by applying lessons learned and best practices from a variety of industries to facilitate the organization’s phased and risk-based return process that restores the confidence of your clients, workforce, investors, directors, and managers. There is a pathway forward for return to work that can make your organization stronger and reduce the impacts of future man-made and natural disasters. Meridian and its strategic partners promote a culture of preparedness and resiliency. Let us help!
