Pandemic Management and the WorkplaceThe coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has interrupted many businesses across the country. While it’s unclear how COVID-19 will continue to affect organizations, it is imperative employers thoughtfully consider every option to reintegrate their employees safely back into the workplace. |
WHAT IS CONTACT TRACING
It is the process of tracing an individual’s whereabouts to identify and inform those who have potentially been exposed to someone with COVID-19. This includes Return to Work schedule tracking, which formalizes steps for a safe and quick return to work.
HOW DOES IT WORK
There’s no one single contact-tracing solution. Contact Tracing can be very labor-intensive, depending on the scale of the population that’s being traced. Traditionally, the process involves extensive interviews with infected individuals to figure out where they’ve been recently and with whom they may have come into contact.
POTENTIAL PITFALLS
Contact tracing doesn’t have a perfect system. Sometimes employees won’t remember every place they have been recently, or every person they came into contact with. What’s more, the individual will have to know and report to HR that they contracted COVID-19 before any mitigation can be done.
Even with technology solutions, accurately tracking infections hinges on users manually reporting their COVID-19 infections. If only some people use the app, or decide not to report an infection, the entire system loses value.
Beyond ease of use, there are important legal considerations surrounding contact tracing. These include:
- What data is being collected and stored
- How long the data is stored
- Whether the data is personally identifiable
- How protected the data is
