Travelers, one of the largest companies in Connecticut, is delaying plans to bring employees back to the office by at least a month amid an increase in COVID-19 cases.
“Throughout the pandemic, we’ve had no greater priority than the health and safety of our employees. In light of the uncertainty surrounding the Delta variant, we’ve decided to delay our formal return to the office plan by at least one month. We’ll continue to monitor developments and guidance from federal and state health officials as we determine the best time for our broader return,” a statement from the Hartford-based insurance company says.
