However, there are those obsessed with the uncomfortable conditions that come with aging. Since people are often afraid of what they don't understand, let's discuss the facts. If you get to be older, you have survived many obstacles and many challenges. You still have emotions to express and opportunities to explore. If there is a fountain of youth, it is keeping your mind open, brain active and making sound decisions.

Life as we know it is changing and disrupting every sector of our lives in the age of COVID-19. The ramifications of the Coronavirus Pandemic have rippled across every aspect of our professional and personal lives. With governments enforcing stringent guidelines to protect its citizens there is much that can be done by businesses when it comes to the safety and wellbeing of employees. Planning how to manage office utilization in a way that members of your organization stay healthy and safe can be a challenging task, but having the right information and data on how your office space is used is a big step in decision-making when it comes to workspace planning for a post-pandemic workplace. What we've learned is to be prepared and not panic. As we return to work, we should be aware, not scared, practice preventative action at all times and take the extra measures to ensure health and safety is protected. This program teaches us all how to act proactively and learn the precautions we need to put in place to return to the workplace during the Coronavirus Pandemic.
We'll learn what habits to follow and the role of managers to ensure workplace safety. New research suggests the coronavirus can live on a mask, plastic and stainless steel for 7 days. It can live on glass and money for 4 days. It can live on cloth and wood for 2 days. It can live 1 day on cardboard and on paper for 3 hours. As we return to work, all employees need to be aware. Wear a cloth mask (but not one designated for a health care worker), PPE (personal protective equipment) if instructed, stay calm (stress will lower your immune system), avoid close contact with those who are feeling unwell, keep two arm lengths (6 feet) between yourself and others, practice good hygiene and avoid shared use of office desks, work tools and equipment. Corporations will need to adapt social distancing to the workplace, rethink floor layouts and desk seating arrangements, stagger work schedules, stagger arrival times and look at prototypes where markings delineate a six-foot radius around each desk. Most people touch their faces several hundred times a day. To avoid infection, it's time we form new habits.
Do not touch your eyes, nose, or mouth unless your hands are completely sanitized. Always cough or sneeze into your arm. Promote regular hand washing to employees and customers. Wash your hands with soap and water for twenty seconds every two hours especially after using the bathroom, before, during and after food preparation, after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing and after touching garbage. Keep hand sanitizer at workstations at all times. Use disposable gloves, gowns and a mask for cleaning and disinfecting surfaces such as doorknobs, tables, desks, light fixtures and handrails. Surface disinfectants like Lysol and bleach are recommended for high touch surfaces. Ensure the surface stays wet for 4 minutes.
Use video and web conferencing for meetings and assess the risks of business travel. If in-person meetings are absolutely necessary, ensure proper distancing in a well-ventilated space. It's everyone's responsibility to ensure the workplace is clean and hygienic. Managers should develop an infection control policy and select an Emergency Planning Coordinator who should keep ongoing communication with their local public health department. They should put strategies in place to ensure the work environment is safe and provide signage throughout the company promoting good respiratory hygiene and recommendations for cleaning and social distancing. The coronavirus is primarily a respiratory illness that spreads airborne droplets from an infected person's coughs or sneezes. Most of these droplets fall on nearby objects and surfaces. You could spread the virus to co-workers and others even if you don't feel sick. The whole world is facing the same challenges. It is therefore vital that we pay attention, take responsibility, get the facts, stay informed and be prepared.

In this program we'll learn the dangers of substance abuse in the workplace, the impact of working with someone inebriated and how companies can address this prevalent issue. Alcohol is the most widely used and abused substance in our country. 140 million Americans drink alcohol, 67.1 million are binge drinkers and 16.6 million are heavy drinkers. Most work assignments require employees to stay focused on tasks and goals, alert and accurate, productive and proactive and who are also ambitious, reliable and work well with their coworkers. Employees that have substance abuse issues are less productive and are 70% more likely to injure themselves, use more sick days, or file a workman's compensation claim.

In this program we'll learn why it is mostly men that harass others, when an environment becomes sexually hostile and the ways to disarm the perpetrator. Many men have difficulty handling power and money with grace. Intense issues of entitlement and control often go unchecked, thus become the norm. Powerful men who are focused solely on themselves are more likely to objectify others. These men exploit and mistreat others simply because they can get away with it. The effects of harassment vary from person to person. They can become the target of retaliation after their complaining or filing a formal grievance.

Discrimination can take many forms. In this program we'll learn about stereotypes, biases, bullying, homophobia, sexism, verbal and emotional abuse and how to distinguish between legal and illegal behavior. We'll look at harassment, discrimination and explore racial and sexual discrimination. It takes a lot of talent and a lot of work to build a successful company and it only takes one person to take it apart brick by brick. There are employees who are attracted to a hostile work environment. If the work culture isn't abusive, they will manipulate and devalue the staff one by one. They take what functions and make it dysfunctional. Instead of good employees finding ways to be effective, they find themselves finding ways to cope and survive. Who is responsible for workplace conflicts, low productivity and high turnover? Who is accountable and responsible for the hiring this employee?
This program discusses in detail how management should handle these situations and how to set up procedures effectively. Organizations need to build an open company culture and that takes time and extensive training. On-going education should be viewed as company support and not punishment. We all have prejudices that are based on a myriad of factors. Discrimination is dislike and comes from prejudice. Harassment is an action or comment that an employee finds offensive. Harassment and discrimination are forms of workplace abuse.
Whether intentional or not, destructive behaviors undermine the constructive work employers put into their company and it can run rampant in many organizations. Harassment and discrimination decrease productivity and lower staff morale. The effects can be emotional, physical and social. Companies need to repel abuse in all forms. Everyone should know the law. Good behavior role modeling starts at the top. Inexperienced or ineffective managers must be trained. Cliques must not be allowed in any organization. The goal is to value everyone in the company. Lead by example and hold everyone accountable from the top down. All this begins with the correct hiring and training practices.
