One Group’s Path to Bringing Staff Back to the Office

Seek staff feedback, updated employee policies and improved building systems

Preparing for a safe return to office has been on the minds of a lot of associations lately. The Plumbing-Heating-Cooling Contractors—National Association (PHCC) approached reopening by taking staff concerns into consideration, updating its building and employee policies, and communicating often about the process and details.

Based in Falls Church, Virginia, PHCC owns its building. While some organizations have opted to go completely remote, that wasn’t a consideration for PHCC, said Michael Copp, PHCC executive vice president.

“Our members built this building so that their staff would collaborate and develop products and services for them,” Copp said. “We made it clear to the staff that because we own our own building, our preference is to have the staff in here as much as possible. But also understanding that we wanted to make sure we offer some flexibility.”
