EMERGING FROM COVID-19
How labs navigate the ‘new normal’ of management and design
The COVID-19 crisis is rewriting the future of laboratory management and design, and has left many wondering how to navigate this "new normal"—how will managers ensure the safety of their staff once they return to work? What will the lab of the future look like? Can labs operate at full capacity going forward? How can a densely populated area like a lab be renovated to accommodate social distancing guidelines? What can lab leadership do to maintain an efficient workspace while adhering to strict new safety protocols? Where can lab professionals look for information, especially when dealing with conflicting local, state, and federal guidance?
Lab Manager will address these concerns and more during the “Emerging from COVID-19 Digital Summit,” August 11-12. Register for free to attend this informative webinar series, from the comfort and safety of your own home. Prominent laboratory leaders and managers, as well as top experts in the lab design/build field, will discuss matters of pressing concern for all those who may be struggling with how to safely return to the laboratory workplace. They will offer solutions for physical spacing, traffic reduction, employee screening, staggered work shifts, remote working/monitoring, and more. Learn about steps you can take right now in order to create a safe working environment for yourself and your staff, and discuss what future labs might look like as they adapt to this new reality. Please join us on August 11-12 for this exciting event.
