This past year and a half has been difficult, making important decisions regarding our business, as well as our employees’ well-being in the midst of a pandemic.

When DC declared COVID-19 a Public Health Emergency in 2019, Midtown responded by going 100 percent remote. We supported our clients doing the same across the country and helped thousands of our contractors transition from working on-site to working from home.
Fortunate to maintain our entire internal staff (and even add a few positions) we are tackling PPE and social distancing for our eligible capacity as we transition back into the office. Consistently researching best practices on how to safely reopen an office space, we are happy to share any resources or answer questions you may have.

We see our clients having similar experiences across both the public and private sectors. While some continue to work fully remote, many have already returned to their offices. Many more have alerted us they are in the process of reopening. Doing so safely means reconfiguring space, changing schedules, and taking countless other precautionary measures all while soothing the concerns of employees. For those who need to bring employees back from furlough, several are finding their pre-pandemic staff have moved on.

Facing challenges like these, employers are seeking additional flexibility when planning their triumphant return.
