Practice Relations Director Dottie Davidson says the office has incorporated telemedicine into its routine for some patients. The practice also has patient areas undergo extensive sanitation between appointments.Īt the Florida Retina Institute, the staff are also taking precautions. Cowin, who leads the practice, says to keep patients and staff safe, his employees wear personal protective equipment and patients are asked to wear masks. Such is the case with Laser Foot Surgery Specialist in Dr. While some offices are still closed, others have been operating throughout the pandemic because state and local governments considered their services essential. Henry says human resources should direct employees to the company’s mental health program, and if an employer doesn’t have a program in place already, now may be the time to adopt one.
Another long-term issue of the coronavirus pandemic is the toll it is taking on the well-being of employees. Henry says companies should revise job descriptions to line up with employees’ new remote working situations. “In some ways, the connection between the teams almost seems to be better than it used to be,” she says. Girl Scouts of Citrus CEO Maryann Barry and her employees have been working remotely since March 17th and she says it’s been a positive experience. One arrangement that has become a necessary course of action for many offices is telework, which has employees working from home and utilizing technology to stay in touch. “Some employers are seeing that they can work equally effectively with a whole variety of different kinds of work arrangements,” he says. Gordon Henry, a lecturer at the University of Central Florida’s college of business and lead faculty member for the Essentials of Human Resource Management course, says several of the employers he’s consulted with are reconsidering how they work entirely. Meanwhile, essential employees working in doctor’s offices, child care centers and more are still clocking in but doing so with new protocols: masks, distancing, staggered schedules, etc.Īnd so as the pandemic rages on and as Florida moves forward in its phased reopening, experts, employees and employers are asking themselves: What is the future of the workplace? A number of offices in Central Florida have closed, with employees engaging in telework. The way people work has been changed by the pandemic. On behalf of the Florida Retina Institute Doctors and staff we are sending our sincerest condolences and sympathy to Phil's family and friends.Central Florida’s businesses contemplate the future as the coronavirus pandemic changes the workplace. Phil was loved and valued by so many and will be greatly missed.

We will be forever grateful for Phil’s 28+ years of outstanding and long time service to our practice, his dedication and care shown to our Doctors, team and patients. It is with great sadness that we have learned of the passing of Phil J. She was dearly loved by our team and patients, and she will be greatly missed. She had a big heart and loved all animals.
