While many companies have decided that the shift to telecommuting will be part of their new normal, the traditional office is still necessary for some industries. Business and staffing expert Steve Sorensen says that the office must be virus-proofed before the employees start returning. Below are three tips for having a safe and healthy workplace.

Improve ventilation systems

Fresh air from outdoors is essential to ensure the circulation of clean air within the premises. Instead of keeping the windows closed, experts suggest opening them for a few hours daily. For those who need to upgrade their HVAC systems, using high-grade filters that prevent the spread of viruses as well as cleans outdoor air is a necessity. Changing the ventilation plan to avoid confining airflow to one area is also an essential step.

Change the floor plan to accommodate physical distancing

Shared spaces that employees usually flock should be modified to limit close contact. Putting up dividers and reducing the number of people working in a room is an important step. Some companies that allow their employees to work in the building have enforced shorter schedules and shifts that prevent crowded rooms and unnecessary gatherings. While this new system might make the office dynamic seem cold and impersonal, Steve Sorensen says that it's all about prioritizing health and minimizing the risks.

Regular disinfection

Air purifier lamps, disinfectant sprays, and other sanitation methods should be part of the new normal in the office. Employees should also be encouraged to practice handwashing, cleaning their own stations, and proper waste disposal for virus-free space.
