With Delta variant/covid cases increasing, what are the odds of being required to go back to client site? I feel like there will always be some variant and people shouldn’t be required to go back if not comfortable.

I’m not sure what part of the firm you work in but in GPS we are already seeing clients and we have been told once September 7 comes that we will be back to the office. Many of our contracts with the federal government require our people be on site so that will drive a lot of activity back in person. I have also been told that if any of our people moved away from the office that they need to return to be within driving distance of the office or they need to apply for a new position in the new geography that they currently reside
