HUMAN RESOURCES CASE STUDIES The Regional Human Resources (HR) Committee has published a guide that is designed to help airports prepare their respective workplaces and workforce for the return to the new normal. Via this publication, the committee sought to highlight key recommendations which airport HR and administration should take into consideration when gearing up the workplace to be a safe environment for airport staff under the new normal brought on by the pandemic. The guide addresses key issues around Communications, Wellness, Facilities Management and On the Job for Human Resources professionals. In the publication, ten members share their experiences, case studies or examples of what steps they have undertaken over the past few months, as a means of
