How to Safely Return Employees to the New Normal Workplace
The “New Normal” includes employee safety first, a choice of hybrid work-from-home/ In-office models, and revised office configurations. But the path to safer work models presents organizational, communications, technology and logistics challenges. To be successful, executives need to utilize a multi-functional team*, employ special new workplace procedures, and launch new employee engagement technologies to minimize risk when bringing staff back to the office to ensure a healthy workplace.
You can start with these six (6) actions which will put employee safety first and be the path to gain worker confidence and ensure a healthy workplace.
Hybrid Workplace Models: Grant employees the option to combine work-from-home and In-office work.
Capacity Limits: Use automated systems to enforce social distancing by limiting capacity on the floors, and specific work zones (i.e., conference rooms).
Health Checks: Deploy technology to determine health prior to building entry by employees.
Mental Health Support: Provide the employees with the tools and personnel to provide assistance and any pertinent feedback.
Contact Tracing: Employers need to gather data and stand ready to execute contract tracing to safeguard employees in the event of a virus outbreak.
Low-Touch Environments: Implement technologies to eliminate the need for any employee, visitor, vendor, etc. to touch high-risk office surfaces.
