Your Input is Needed - Please Take the Return to Work Post COVID-19 Survey |
|
With the latest announcement from the CDC and Governor Walz regarding COVID-19 policies, employers are starting to consider the option of returning to the office and what that will look like.
The Dakota County Regional Chamber of Commerce is conducting a survey for employers to understand how they feel about returning to the office post COVID-19 and what information would benefit them in accomplishing this task. The results of the survey will be used to determine what information employers are seeking and how we can assist them with this process.
The objective of the survey will be used to determine:
· How employers feel about returning to in-person employment
· What steps employers have already taken to return to the office
· How we can assist employers with returning to in-person workforces
Please complete this survey by 5:00 pm on Tuesday, May 18, 2021.
