Around 18 million adults in the U.S. alone suffer from long Covid,
a chronic illness with a wide range of symptoms and severity. With
approved therapies a long way off, workers with long Covid often
struggle in silence. And most companies have neither a good
understanding of the situation nor effective policies in place, say
MIT research scientist Beth Pollack and Vanguard University
professor Ludmila Praslova. They share the conditions associated
with long Covid, what life is like for those workers, and the
accommodations and flexibility they recommend HR leaders and
organizations implement. Pollack and Praslova are coauthors with
researcher Katie Bach of the HBR Big Idea article “Long Covid at
Work: A Manager's Guide.”
