Through a strategic alliance, KPMG LLP (KPMG) and Appian announced the launch of the Workplace Reentry Digital Toolkit, to assist companies in getting their employees back to their work locations in a measured way, while following the phases and guidelines outlined by federal, state and local governments. This digital toolkit is an important enabling technology underlying KPMG’s Restarting America framework, which provides organizations with tools to help evaluate challenges that individuals and employers may have to navigate as they re-enter the workplace. KPMG’s risk-based approach is supported by a number of technologies including the Appian Low-code Automation Platform, and is one way to help iteratively and more effectively reopen workplaces while continuing to manage the threat posed by COVID-19.

Organizations must manage the risk of COVID-19 in the workplace until and perhaps even after widespread testing is available and viable treatments and/or vaccines are created. KPMG’s Restarting America framework is supported by customizable technology options that, along with an organization’s medical and other advisors, can help leaders determine which team members can return, and help maintain a safer workplace as the environment continuously changes.
The new Workplace Reentry Digital Toolkit uses Appian’s secure HIPAA-compliant and HiTRUST-certified cloud, with privacy- and security-first principles to help protect data and preserve your team members’ privacy. It comes with an initial set of features that can be configured to companies’ unique requirements. The main components of the Workplace Reentry Digital Toolkit include:
