OVERVIEW The COVID-19 pandemic has turned everyday life upside down. Millions of Americans are now working from home.

This situation presents multiple challenges for organizations looking to transition their staff back to on-site work.

And the list goes on. In most organizations, if you are the best at your craft, it’s likely you’ll be selected to be the next team leader, supervisor or manager.
