In today’s everchanging post-pandemic world, employers and employees face enormous pressures and challenges in how to safely and productively “return to work.” At Gilbane, we have witnessed firsthand how these challenges have required in-depth research and consideration in determining the best and most efficient way to support our office-based employees through this period of transition. Gilbane believes that there is nothing more important than the health and safety of our personnel, our clients, and our industry partners employees. To that end, our top priority is to partner with you in gaining “COVID Confidence.”

Our Transition Planning & Management (TPM) and Facilities Management Services (FMS) teams are now offering consulting services centered on assisting our clients’ in their need to transition their workforce from remote working conditions back to either traditional work environments or a new “hybrid” way of working.

Our approach is founded on the belief that the “return to work” process involves a focus on both your staff and their working environment. Building on our comprehensive platform of TPM and FM Services, our experts have designed a program that can be used to identify key areas that may require organizational focus and investment to bring your business back online safely and efficiently. We begin with a detailed survey of your current state, evaluate your challenges, and respond with customized proactive solutions.

Gilbane recognizes that this process will be ongoing for some time, requiring adaptability, innovation, and the sharing of best practices. We look forward to working with you in developing your action plan for the “new normal.”
