With the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic, companies are having to deal with hygiene plans and infection prevention concepts more than ever before. The book, edited by Uwe Arens, provides a cross-industry overview of the current state of occupational health and safety on topics such as mental stress and company pandemic management. Together with Hiltraud Grzech-Sukalo, Claudia Czycholl has written an introductory article on "Working from home in times of the pandemic". Based on the latest studies and project results, they discuss the potential and benefits as well as the risks and negative effects of working from home for employees. This is followed by recommendations for action for socially and health-compatible and effective working from home.
