 Aug. 6, 2021 | Today's news and insights for transport leaders Note from the editor Just when I thought there may be a light at the end of the tunnel, the delta variant cast a shadow. COVID-19 cases are again spiking in many parts of the U.S., and several jurisdictions are putting mask mandates back in place.
The variant's spread brings about a lot of questions for executives making decisions about their teams. Are the return-to-office plans conceived in the spring still relevant? Should vaccines be mandated for staff? Will procurement of personal protective equipment for essential workers once again be a priority?
Answers to these tough questions aren't universal or easy. The stories below explore some of the considerations around return to work and vaccines. (Most were published before delta reared its head.) I hope they'll provide information and perspectives that help guide your decision-making.
Send us an email to let us know if you find the stories helpful, or what your plans are for office work and vaccines going forward.
