My entire month consisted of one of these things:
- Talking with staff (Love this)
- Preparing for, participating in, or facilitating meetings (Mixed bag of emotions on this)
- Entertaining my tiny clone (Another mixed bag of emotions)
- Researching operational best-practice in times of COVID (Don't love this, but definitely an important task)
When I think of returning to work in July, I feel a sense of apprehension. Why am I telling you this? Because I want to make it very clear how seriously YESS takes everybody's health. I've watched countless webinars, read even more articles, and have basically memorized OSHA's document on preparing work places for a return to the office. Here is what I'm considering at this point in time (this is subject to change)...
- We limit the number of YESS staff to under 10 per day - This means we'll likely rotate between teams (MS on one day, HS on the next)
- Social distancing (at least six feet between people) will be enforced - We will utilize all available space
- We will require masks to be worn while in the office
- Hand washing will be highly encouraged
- I'm waiting to see what the circumstances are before making a decision on whether or not the kitchen will be available for use
- We are not planning to take employees' temperatures, but will have a strict illness policy
Of course, we're also considering continuing to work from home during our office period. This will, however, require much more time on Zoom.

In short, we're weighing options and continuing to take this incredibly seriously.
