Focusing on wellness, prevention and return to work issues

The workplace will provide numerous challenges for clients and they will vary from industry to industry, Ron S. Leopold told listeners at the recent BenefitsPRO Virtual Broker Expo.

“The pandemic is the greatest world disruptor of our lifetime,” shared medical advisor and consultant, Ron S. Leopold, M.D., in a session looking at health care innovation in the COVID-19 era during day one of the BenefitsPRO Virtual Broker Expo. “It compares to 9-11 and Pearl Harbor and has introduced a level of urgency, uncertainty and challenge. It will be a topic of conversation for the rest of our lives.”

Leopold acknowledged that the workplace will provide numerous challenges for clients and they will vary from industry to industry. Employees at some companies will continue to work remotely until spring 2021, while essential workers are already going back to their workplaces, a decision fraught with several concerns.
