See below for some excerpts. For the full article, click [here](https://grbj.com/news/government/furniture-dealer-leans-into-the-future-of-work/) "For all of our customers, and even within our business, a key thing that we have identified and are talking to our customers about is the need to be flexible, adaptable and responsive to the needs of employees within the work environment"   "A primary challenge, Bill Payne said, will be meeting clients where they are at, because the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines may vary based on the work setting, i.e., a manufacturer will have different requirements than a service organization or an office environment." "The difficulty is that for many jobs, personal interaction and collaboration are necessary to spur innovation, he said. Human resource departments and facilities teams will have to rethink how to foster such activities while maintaining social distancing." "As far as Trellis is concerned, we’re trying to stay out in front as one of the more expert organizations with regard to providing advice and consultation with our customers on the range of options that are available that they could employ within their specific work environment. I think the key will be, over the coming weeks, we’re all just going to have to be attentive to what changes take place as we move through this fairly dynamic time" **From physical distancing consultation and [WFH](https://www.trellis-co.com/home-office) solutions to disinfecting and asset management, TRELLIS has a suite of offerings to help. ** [![Learn More About Our RTW Services](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/6299406/a83480c0-ec42-4718-9bea-098e2eaa2181.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/6299406/a83480c0-ec42-4718-9bea-098e2eaa2181) Previous Story [← TRELLIS partners with Rainbow International of West Michigan to provide disinfectant services](https://blog.trellis-co.com/blog/trellis-partners-with-cleaning-company-to-disinfect-work-spaces) Next Story [GRBJ: Healthy workplace design takes center stage as Michigan opens for business →](https://blog.trellis-co.com/blog/healthy-workplace-design) ## You May Also Like These Stories on Return To Work [![](https://blog.trellis-co.com/hubfs/TRELLIS%20Home%20Office%20Header.png)](https://blog.trellis-co.com/blog/homeoffice) [Insights and Inspiration](https://blog.trellis-co.com/blog/tag/insights-and-inspiration) ### [Make Working From Home A Success](https://blog.trellis-co.com/blog/homeoffice) Jun 11, 2020 | 1 min read [![](https://blog.trellis-co.com/hubfs/herman-miller-zeeland-mi_t20_7mw12N.jpg)](https://blog.trellis-co.com/blog/return-to-work) [Insights and Inspiration](https://blog.trellis-co.com/blog/tag/insights-and-inspiration) ### [TRELLIS can help you return to work.](https://blog.trellis-co.com/blog/return-to-work) May 25, 2020 | 2 min read [![](https://blog.trellis-co.com/hubfs/4.png)](https://blog.trellis-co.com/blog/healthy-workplace-design) [Herman Miller](https://blog.trellis-co.com/blog/tag/herman-miller) ### [GRBJ: Healthy workplace design takes center stage as Michigan opens for business](https://blog.trellis-co.com/blog/healthy-workplace-design) May 21, 2020 | 2 min read ### Subscribe by Email ### TRELLIS 37 Ottawa Avenue Grand Rapids, MI 49503 Call us: (616) 256-0570 - [Blog](https://blog.trellis-co.com/blog) - [Service & Warranty](http://www.trellis-co.com/service-and-warranty) - [Privacy Policy](http://www.trellis-co.com/privacy-policy) ### Get In Touch Copyright TRELLIS © 2021.
