As Return-to-Work Becomes Reality, New Data Shows Companies Lack Plans to Manage Infectious Disease Outbreaks


AUSTIN, Texas, April 14, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- ReturnSafe, the comprehensive software solution for infectious disease management (IDM) helping businesses reopen and stay open, today released findings from its new study on return-to-work strategies and the future of infectious disease in the workplace. Findings paint an uncertain future as companies struggle to develop strategies to bring employees back to work safely. More than half of survey respondents do not currently have policies on vaccination requirements (52 percent) or managing future infectious diseases outbreaks (49 percent).

"Returning to a sense of normalcy is palpable. After a year of navigating remote work that negatively impacted business outcomes for many, it's understandable that employers want to get people back into physical workspaces as soon as possible," said Tarun Nimmagadda, CEO and Co-Founder of ReturnSafe. "But the pandemic isn't over, and future outbreaks remain a threat to employee health and wellbeing. We need to ensure that every workplace has a long-term solution to address issues related to COVID-19 and beyond. It's clear from our survey findings that employees are extremely concerned about how employers plan to manage vaccinations, social distancing, and infectious diseases down the line."

Key findings from the report show:

"Our findings show that nearly half of employers don't have a vaccination policy in place, meaning they must deal with the complexities of mixed-immunity environments," said Jikku Venkat, Chief Technology Officer, Vice President of Product, and Co-Founder of ReturnSafe. "Companies need tools like daily health screeners, testing dashboards and case managers to not only prevent COVID-related healthcare costs from spiraling out of control, but to ease employees' concerns and instill confidence that their health and safety is a top priority."
