How to handle the intersection of vaccinated and unvaccinated employees
With Governor Inslee’s announcement that that the state is moving toward a statewide reopening date on June 30, 2021, many organizations are reviewing plans to return to their physical offices.

Discussion topics include:
Safety protocols in the workplace.
Strategies for communicating the transition with your workforce and your legal obligations for accommodations.
