The COVID-19 pandemic has profoundly disrupted New Jersey’s workplaces. Employees have either decamped to do their jobs from home or faced drastically changed conditions at their work locations.

With the state’s population now being vaccinated in increasing numbers, employers are transitioning workers back into the workplace and face a range of unique and daunting challenges, including:

Protecting employees from exposure to the Coronavirus with workplace safety measures and navigating the company's role in the vaccination process
Maintaining employee productivity and business performance by finding new ways of supporting the physical and mental well-being of their workers
Attracting and retaining talent with practices that help employees balance work and family
