Your return to workplace resource center

Free template sets and resources to support the safe return of your employees to the workplace.

A message from our Chief People & Culture Officer

Together with innovative leaders from our community, we've built template sets and other resources to help you plan a safe, measured, and responsible return to the workplace. These template sets are free and available to licensed users on a Business, Enterprise, or Premier plan, and for anyone in a free trial.

Each template set comes with a detailed setup guide so you can learn how to customize the solution. For additional assistance in adapting and deploying these resources, please reach out to your account team or consider our solution services.

Note: These template sets should not be considered expert guidance.
