Presentation:
Are you a structural engineer working from home who is currently transitioning or will transition back to the office in the coming months? Are you back in the office now, but prefer to work from home? Are you feeling anxious about balancing concerns about illness, childcare, and keeping your job? Are you wondering about how to keep (or go back to) working from home, staying safe if you’re working in the office (and masks/social distancing isn’t enforced), or work travel but aren’t sure how to navigate conversations around masks, social distancing, and construction site visits with professionalism?
This presentation will explore the state of the structural engineering industry related to COVID including the current status of returning to the office, and equip attendees with the tools they need to tackle tough conversations around working from home, office safety, construction site visits, and work travel in the pandemic.
