PETERS – Here’s what we should build into our new normal post-pandemic
Posted on June 26, 2021 in Local Voices, Page One, Peters // 0 Comments
THE PHRASE ‘NEW NORMAL’ has become so overused to become cliched, but there are several practices we have learned during this COVID-19 pandemic that should become our new normals, even as we leave the pandemic behind.
Staying home when we’re sick should become normalized.
It wasn’t long ago that you would be regarded as a hero if you didn’t take sick days and, conversely, suspicious if you took too much time off with illness.
In the future, hopefully employers and employees will be more apt to view an illness-related absence as helping their coworkers out rather than placing extra strain on them.
