SIM Advanced Practices Council: 'Let's Not Get Back to Normal'
SIM
Madeline Weiss, APC Director
President Biden and members of his COVID-19 Task Force are frequently asked, “When can we get back to normal?” We know the many advantages of getting back to normal. But when it comes to work, perhaps we shouldn’t seek to return to normal. For many, “normal” entails commuting to designated offices (“For many commuters, the journey to work causes more stress than their actual jobs or even the dentist”); spending money on such items as gas, tolls, parking, auto repairs on cars, dry cleaning, and take-out lunches; and missing daytime family events. Moreover, this year of working primarily from home brought unexpected benefits not only to employees but also to their organizations, such as increased productivity, and the promise of even greater benefits if remote work were to continue.
