The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted businesses across the globe. It led to significant changes in operations, workforce management, and insurance considerations in New York. Now that the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency officially ended on May 11, 2023, many business owners are left wondering how this change will impact their businesses and insurance needs. This post aims to shed some light on these topics.


Reevaluating Business Operations

The lifting of the public health emergency signals a return to normalcy. As such, businesses might need to reassess their operations.


Remote Work and Office Spaces

Many businesses shifted to remote work during the pandemic. With the end of the public health emergency, you may be considering bringing your employees back to the office. However, hybrid models combining in-person and remote work are becoming increasingly popular. Balancing these work models requires a reassessment of your office space needs and costs.


Health and Safety Measures

Even though the public health emergency has ended, maintaining a safe and healthy environment for your employees and customers remains essential. Therefore, businesses must stay updated on continuing health and safety guidelines and adapt their operations accordingly.


Understanding Insurance Implications

While Susan Wiener Enterprises does not directly provide Liability or Workers Compensation Insurance, we work with an extended network of trusted partners to provide these important policies.


The pandemic led to various changes in insurance coverage and claims. With the end of the public health emergency, businesses must reassess their insurance needs.


Liability Insurance

As businesses reopen fully, the risk of liability claims may increase. Therefore, ensuring your liability insurance coverage adequately protects your business is crucial. You might also want to consider adding a communicable disease endorsement to your policy if it's not already included.


Workers' Compensation

With potential changes in work environments, businesses should review their workers' compensation coverage. For example, changes in the number of employees, their roles, or the nature of your workplace might require updates to your policy.


Business Interruption Insurance

The pandemic highlighted the importance of business interruption insurance. However, even though the public health emergency has ended, other unforeseen circumstances can disrupt your operations. Therefore, ensuring comprehensive business interruption insurance is vital to safeguarding your business's financial health.
