Workplace wellness is more important now than ever! We all have a need to see and interact with others, and the workplace fills that void. As employees trickle back into the workplace, every organization’s return to the office should be customized to their unique circumstances.
What are some things you can do to provide a safe workplace?
Tri-state Office Furniture offers solutions to help create functional and healthy workspaces, no matter where you’re working! So, we’ve compiled a list of Safe Office Solutions to help you navigate into the “new normal workplace”.
1. Dividers
Workspaces have changed dramatically in the past decade. Businesses have been creating spaces with lower panel heights and more collaborative driven designs. So how can we be social, with so much emphasis on social distancing? The CDC has noted the safe distancing standard as 6’-0”. With that in mind, staggering occupants is a real consideration for those entering the workplace, as well as creating more enclosed spaces, and not regularly using common spaces. We have several solutions to help without breaking the budget or starting over.
Retro-fitted:These acrylic or glass dividers stack on top of your current workstation panels or worktops. Frosted options give privacy but do not block natural light, while clear options allow employees to communicate freely with one another while practicing social distancing.
Temporary Screens: Options to divide spaces without damaging your existing furniture. Mobile dividers are great for the constantly changing work environment and removed when they are no longer necessary.
Counter Shields / Sneeze Guards: These dividers are a necessity for high traffic areas: reception, conference room, healthcare & customer service counters. These clear screens sit on a counter or desktop to create a safe barrier between your employee and the public. Various sizes and options with pass-throughs make it easy to complete transactions. Various mounting options are also available making these a temporary or permanent fixture.
2. Sanitary Products
Having the right products and materials will help everyone feel safe and secure, and especially sanitary.
Sanitizer Stations & Health Screening Areas are a new staple. These products are not just for hospitals and healthcare.
Signage is a must especially in healthcare and retail spaces. The well-being of your employees and clients should be a top priority.
