Title
RTW Post-Pandemic: Psychological Considerations
Description
Discussions about post-Covid return-to-work have mostly focused on the public health and legal/regulatory drivers (what is safe, can vaccination be made mandatory, etc.), however, psychological factors will also have an impact. We discuss the potential influence of several of these and mitigating strategies including, residual psychological sequelae, implications from employees’ altered lifestyles, employees’ changed expectations from their employers, “beliefs” about what is / is not safe and the politicization of the response to the pandemic.
