bringing workers back into the office
Use Cases
Many offices have had to move to remote operations in the past year, leaving offices across the country untouched and leaving you unsure of how to prepare your office space for the return of your workers. Whether reinstating your building operations – like plumbing, air, cleaning services, or security – or slowly phasing people back into your space, our consortium members are here to help you create, implement, and communicate the best practices for bringing workers back into the office.
TURNING ON BUILDING SYSTEMS
Boilers, HVAC and plumbing systems should be flushed and tested before turning back on. It is recommended that systems run for up to a week before a building is reoccupied.
Notifying Workers & Rebuilding Trust
Creating a safe environment and a sense of security for your workforce go hand-in-hand. The top concern of workers returning is whether the workplace is safe. How will you create the trust that the workplace is safe?
VACCINATED VS. NOT – MANAGING BLENDED POPULATIONS
As the vaccine is rolled out across the globe, work environments will be facing the new challenge of handling and protecting a partially vaccinated population. Will your organization require proof of vaccination to return to the workplace?
Social Distancing
Considering the flow of people and implementing zone designations and proper signage can assist in stopping the spread.
TRACING AFTER A POSITIVE TEST
Reopening or staying open means preparing for the possibility of a positive test and having clear next steps set out to prevent further outbreaks. County will do this for organizations, however timing can be critical. Your business may need to set up contact tracing capabilities.
