ARLINGTON, Va. - The Arlington Chamber of Commerce and Arlington Economic Development (AED) partnered to release the Return to the Workplace Toolkit, designed to aid Arlington’s businesses in safely welcoming back employees and customers.

All Arlington businesses and nonprofit organizations may pick up copies of two posters and a complimentary mask at a distribution event on Wednesday, August 12 from 2:00-4:00 p.m. at the Chamber, 2009 14th Street N, Suite 100, Arlington, VA 22201.

“Operating a business in standard times takes a tremendous amount of work,” said Chamber President and CEO Kate Bates. “The coronavirus pandemic has brought an unparalleled hardship to our businesses as they work to pivot their operations while keeping their employees and customers safe. We want to help make it just a bit easier to keep up with the regulations and best practices by compiling the key materials into this toolkit.”

“While the timing of a large return to the office is still uncertain for many companies, AED’s goal is to ensure that the business community feels welcomed, supported, and prepared to return to the office when they choose to do so,” said AED Director, Telly Tucker. “The digital toolkit resources are meant to help inform these decisions and ease the burden on Arlington businesses when a decision to return is made.”

On August 5, the Chamber and AED launched a digital toolkit including informational webinars, flyers, posters, guides, and key resources for returning to the office.

Media is invited to attend the distribution event. Contact Morgan Cooper at (703) 525-2400 x205 or communications@arlingtonchamber.org to confirm your attendance or learn more.
