Return to Workplace Pulse Survey
As more people receive the COVID-19 vaccine, many organizations that transitioned to virtual and in-home workspaces are beginning to return their daily operations to physical workplaces. We would like to hear from you about your organization’s plans to safely return your people to your physical workplaces as well. Please take a moment and complete this Return to Workplace Pulse Survey and share where your organization is in the return process, key challenges of your work from home strategy and other workforce considerations.
The Return to Workplace Pulse Survey is now closed. Please stay tuned for the survey results, which will be shared in June 2021.
Alert: A special Paycheck Protection Program application window opens. Nonprofits with fewer than 20 employees are eligible to apply.
From Wednesday, February 24, through Tuesday, March 9, the Small Business Administration and Paycheck Protection Program lenders will process loan applications ONLY from nonprofits and for-profit businesses with fewer than 20 employees. The opening is meant to provide equitable relief by “targeting the PPP to the smallest businesses and those that have been left behind in previous relief efforts.” It also helps to ensure that lenders give smaller employers the attention they need to work their way through the application process.

ALERT DC: PHASE II ReOpen DC NOTICES REVEALED – COVID-19 – DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
The start of Phase Two is based on the Department of Health’s (DOH) evaluation of certain gated criteria. These are consistent with criteria recommended by the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and DOH’s determination that the District has met applicable metrics that enable us to reduce certain restrictions on businesses, government operations, services, and activities. In general, the move from Phase One to Phase Two means that we have moved from substantial, controlled transmission where significant mitigation steps were warranted, to minimal to moderate community transmission, where moderate mitigation steps are warranted. See more details.
