As we begin our return to pre-COVID employment routines, one factor has stood out as a key consideration for employees reentering the workplace: indoor air quality (IAQ). Nearly three-quarters of all employees have cited air quality as a significant occupational health and safety concern, and more than half would consider changing jobs if they felt the air quality in their workplace was unsafe.
Many offices, public spaces, and institutional facilities have operated at lower capacities for the past two years, which has created a new set of IAQ challenges. Coupled with a heightened awareness of air quality among building occupants, this has caused many employers and facility managers to make IAQ management a top priority.
As stakeholders for a safe and healthy indoor environment, CMI hopes you will join us for a discussion on the IAQ issues associated with COVID and the return to the workplace.
