Return to the Workplace A risk management framework for decision makers 21 July 2021 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In many duty stations local pandemic conditions are resolving and consideration is being given to return to the workplace and the resumption of on-site work. (...) The approach to access, vaccination, occupancy levels, mask use, distancing, and contact tracing should wherever possible align between community and the workplace, given that: - If the workplace is more restrictive than local rules, this will increase the likelihood of personnel not following workplace rules. - If the workplace is more permissive than local rules, there may be reputational risk for the organization within the local community. 2. (...) The key considerations in undertaking a basic workplace risk assessment are provided in Section Two.

DHMOSH - PUBLIC HEALTH UNIT / OSH UNIT COVID-19 SUSPECT CASE MANAGEMENT: GUIDELINE FOR UN WORKPLACE (29 JULY 2020) 1 MANAGEMENT OF UN PERSONNEL WITH SYMPTOMS OF ACUTE RESPIRATORY INFECTION IN THE UN WORKPLACE 29 July 2020 In the course of their daily work, UN personnel may come into contact with someone with symptoms of acute respiratory infection (ARI) such as fever, cough or shortness of breath. (...) These steps should be modified for each workplace based on guidance from UN medical services and local authorities, and personnel should be encouraged to be familiar with them to ensure a safe, consistent response. (...) Information should be available on COVID-19 generally, and the measures being undertaken in the workplace to keep everyone safe and healthy. In order to minimize stigma, the risk of COVID-19 should be based solely on symptoms and exposure - determinations of risk based on race or country of origin are inconsistent with UN standards.

ILO/AIDS’ activities respond to the manifest potential for workplace action on four fronts. Advisory services assist in integration of workplace issues in national plans, revision of labour laws to address HIV/AIDS, and development of policies to address HIV/AIDS at all levels. Education and training programmes are designed to support the implementation of the Code of Practice, and strengthen the capacity of governments and social partners to address HIV/AIDS in the workplace. Advocacy includes dissemination of examples of good practice in workplace action and of national laws and policies, and research findings. (...) Several actions clearly have implications for services (e.g. health services) in, or in connection with the workplace, to the extent that they exist, or for extending workplace-based services; and for relevant workplace policies, even if not stated explicitly in the Programme of Action.

In addition, I would like to promote a policy option related to the need for integrated mobility strategies. Trips to the workplace represent one third of the overall mobility demand. 80% of workers get to work mainly by motor vehicles, 61% of which are single-occupant vehicles. (...) These ‘mobility plans’ had already been put in place in several workplaces in Spain, Belgium, Italy, UK and the US, and are detailed in a recent publication by ISTAS on good practices related to sustainable mobility at the workplace, that will be soon included in the Matrix.

(...) It’s a problem made worse by long  recognized discriminatory hiring practices and workplace environments that present major obstacles for persons with autism; all of which contribute to the unemployment or severe underemployment of a large majority of adults on the autism spectrum. (...) Based on the experience gained from these programmes, and motivated by the desire to both be socially responsible and to gain a competitive advantage by capitalizing on the skills and abilities of a more diverse talent pool, an increasing number of employers are now creating  models to make the workplace and hiring practices more inclusive generally.

(...) Preventive meas- ures to improve the work environment, work organisation and interpersonal relationships at the workplace, have proved particularly effective. It is important that preventive measures are immediately introduced when risks of workplace violence are identified without waiting for workplace violence to manifest itself at the workplace. 3.2 PARTICIPATIVE A participatory approach, whereby all parties concerned consider it worthwhile to work together to reduce workplace violence and where such parties have an active role in designing and imple- menting anti-violence initiatives, should be actively promoted.
