How to Get Them Back… in the Office. A Building Engineer and Manager’s Perspective

It is now three years after the initial COVID Shutdown. Companies are still trying to entice their employees to come back…in the Office. Realize, we kept employees out because of a Safety Concern; but find ourselves trying to get them back against a ‘Convenience’ concern. Realize, that while COVID may have dropped from the headlines, we are being told daily of ‘new’ viruses (RSV, Rhino, Monkey Pox, etc…) This course will focus on what a Facility Engineer/Manager can do to create a safe and health work environment. Fancy desks and snack bars may create new problems. Addressing the Safety Issue makes it easier to address some of the other concerns. Please attend to get your Building Engineer Toolkit! (Attendees can get 0.1 CEU toward their AIFET Training.).
