Heartland AEA Plans a Phased Approach to Return to Workplaces

Agency leaders have been developing a plan in recent weeks for staff to begin to return to workplaces. Returning to work in phases allows our organization to maintain productivity while minimizing the spread of COVID-19 by keeping employees farther apart. In the first two phases of our three-phase approach, most staff will continue to remote work and then return to workplaces in phases. Here’s a closer look at how we’re planning a phased approach: Phases of Returning to Workplaces.
