Points to be considered to resume work from the office.
As we know the government has allowed companies to reopen their workplace with one-third of their staff and the country entered lockdown 4.0 with more relaxations, putting in place required social distancing and health protocols. While many will be rejoicing in the lifting of restrictions, it does not mean life should back to normal immediately. We'll still have to be cautious, maybe take more precautions than before and ensure that others around us do the same Companies are making a cautious start to resume office for a section of their workforce with required social distancing and health protocols to ensure the safety of their employees.
Here, are some points to be considered while resuming the office.
A detailed planning activity, where we need to identify which employees really need to come to work, even after the from lockdown is lifted. Others can continue to work home. That clarity is important.
Arrangements for employee health check-up prior to entering office -Temperature check and other vitals for each employee.
Action plan increase employees show signs of being unwell and also understand specific consideration for the caring needs of any employee in-case they have a sick family member.
Ensure that there is a space of six feet between all seats. You spend 8-9 hours at work and must maintain a proper distance from everyone during this time, whether they seem fine or not. Be sure to wash your hands with soap and water or with sanitizer as soon as you reach the office - even before you set your bag down at the desk.
Prepare a kit for each employee - it must include a face cover, face mask, hand sanitizer, hand soap, gloves, toilet seat sanitizer, and tissue papers.
Use gloves whenever you need to be dealing with shared items - like the coffee machine or the office phone.
Keep the door open to avoid use by many people. There must be little distance between access card/attendance card and system.
Deep cleaning/hygiene of office, bathrooms, and other working areas like receptionist area, cafeteria, parking area...Etc
Don't shake hands with anyone; no one will think you're being rude. Come up with your own preferred greeting - like a Namaste.
Wipe down your desk, mouse, keyboard, and screen daily with a paper towel and alcohol rub before you start work.
Take a break from your screen every 20 minutes for 20 seconds so you don't feel the need to rub your eyes.
Avoid using shared stationery - if you really need to use office stationery must take with gloves or sanitize it.
Monitor – Continue performing these activities by employees at the workplace
The above plan will help your employees, teams, and even others to drive higher commissions when they feel more valued and cared for by their employers & business associates post their return to work.
