5 Tips to Consider for your Company’s Return to the Workplace
Technology will be crucial to enabling and managing this new age of work:
1. Put health and safety first – Corp. leaders should seek technology solutions such as automated systems to monitor and limit building capacity for physical distancing, health checks, and contact tracing to create a touchless experience in the office.
2. Create comfort through communications - For employees to trust the re-entry process, listen carefully and communicate frequently to give employees accurate. Empowering employees to make informed decisions is crucial to rebuilding trust in the workplace.
3. Reconsider your working model - There is a fundamental shift towards hybrid work which will pay for itself in the long run. Data from workplace technology platforms will enable businesses to right-size portfolios to lower the P&L, and operating expenses to make office workspaces meet the needs of employees and position those companies as an employer of choice to retain top talent.
4. Choose your technologies carefully - Businesses implementing workplace technology for a safe return to offices must take this opportunity to look beyond the pandemic, to lay the digital foundations of their future of work. Companies should ask this key question: “How does this technology investment serve my business in the long-term?”
5. Partner for tomorrow, not just today - The partners that a company chooses for the digitalization journey should adapt to their business and its evolving needs, not only now, but long after the COVID-19 pandemic. Those partners should integrate the company’s employees, workplaces, and business units into a cohesive digital ecosystem.
