The COVID-19 pandemic has brought enormous stress and change to every workplace and work function. However, some populations may be especially vulnerable.
This panel brings together representatives from AARP, the Employee Assistance Professionals Association (EAPA), the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), and the Yang-Tan Institute on Employment and Disability at Cornell University to highlight workplace considerations for vulnerable populations.
The panel will explore ways to proactively address issues that may disproportionately impact older workers, as well as those with physical and mental disabilities, by employing internal organization and professional association resources.
What you’ll learn:
- What some of the unique considerations are for older workers during the COVID-19 pandemic
- What employers can do to proactively address questions around COVID-19’s impact on people with disabilities in the workplace
- How the resources of employee assistance programs can contribute to mitigating the stress of these populations
- What the roles of human resource professionals and professional associations such as SHRM are in helping workplaces to address current issues presented by COVID-19
