How to Safely Return to the Office

11/6/2020 (Permalink)

Although many businesses have decided to keep the work from home policy enforced, other companies have decided to return to the office. If you want your small or large business to return to the office, check out or tips to help workers re-integrate into office life. 

Have a Plan on When to Go Back

Your first step should be to make a plan. Have a set date of when the office will reopen so you can be sure your timeline will work with that date. Let each employee know of the date and work with them if that date is not feasible. Many people now have extra responsibilities on their hands with schools and other facilities being closed. Others who may be immunocompromised may not feel comfortable working in an office setting. It is important to listen to your employees concerns.

Letting Employees Readjust

It has been 8 months since the COVID-19 pandemic has begun. It is expected that most employees will have a lag in their readjustment. Be there for your employees and give them all the support they need during these unprecedent times.

Have a Cleaning Plan

This is the most important part of the COVID-19 reintegration plan. When employees know their health is being taken care of, they are more likely to come into the office, as well as feel comfortable doing so. SERVPRO of West El Paso offers comprehensive COVID-19 cleaning for any sized space. We offer both proactive cleanings as well as positive case cleanings. SERVPRO of West El Paso uses CDC recommended products and cleaning guidelines and SERVPRO technicians have been using hospital-grade disinfectant to sanitize workspaces during this time.

As a locally owned business ourselves, SERVPRO of West El Paso wants other organizations to stay healthy and feel comfortable going in for their daily duties. Give us a call and we can help you get back into your office safely!
