COVID Testing for Employers

Description

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to escalate, and in this context, it's become that much more critical for employers with on-site employees to be deliberate and thoughtful with their return to work strategies. This event in partnership with Project Beacon will focus on what strategies organizations can implement in order to safely bring their employees into the office safely and effectively, and in particular, the importance of testing as a core pillar of return to work strategy. Project Beacon's mission is to provide affordable, timely, and accessible COVID-19 testing solutions. 

During this discussion, we'll hear more about Project Beacon, what they offer and how the business community can protect the health and safety of their employees through COVID-19 testing.  We will also discuss our efforts to open a Project Beacon testing site in the Newton-Needham-Waltham-Wellesley area.
