It’s a challenge, to say the least. The challenges first come from the safety aspect, which can be costly and time-consuming. These are though essential to avoid future discrepancies. One of the challenges is finding a balance with everything. The first thing is to secure the workplace for a smooth transition for your employees coming back to work. This can look like special machines set up through the main entrances where a temperature screening is able to scan quickly to see if a fever is detected. Next to set up stationary sanitation and disinfected stations throughout the workplace. Designs on the floor with arrows indicating social distancing, signs through the workplace for best practices, mask mandating, and last but not least workplace spacing is key. Your work environment has now completely done a 180 and you’re not sure where to go from here. Next thing is to decide a date, communicate that out to your employees and a manual on COVID guidelines within that email or readily available at the employee’s workstation so that everyone feels comfortable within their surroundings and in turn can be productive because of the organizational leadership/guidance shown in providing a sense of security to their employees.
