There are several ways to ensure a safe and clean office environment upon reopening. First, a thorough cleaning and disinfection of the entire office space should be done. This includes all common areas, workstations, and high-touch surfaces. Second, implement safety protocols such as social distancing, wearing of masks, and regular hand sanitizing. Third, provide employees with resources and training on how to maintain cleanliness and safety in the office. Lastly, consider implementing a staggered work schedule to limit the number of people in the office at any given time.

A company can prepare for potential Covid outbreaks after reopening by developing a comprehensive plan that includes a clear communication strategy, a timeline for reopening, safety protocols, and preventative measures. The company should also provide additional resources to employees during this sensitive time to ease their anxiety.

Employers can use the Office Reopening Guide to effectively plan and communicate their reopening strategy by following its guidelines and recommendations. The guide can provide a roadmap for ensuring physical, emotional, financial, and digital safety in the workplace.

Develop flexible work policies that accommodate different needs, such as remote work options for those who are unable to return to the office. 3. Implement safety measures that address physical, emotional, financial, and digital safety. 4. Provide clear communication about the reopening plan and any changes to policies or procedures. 5.

Our priorities

Begin with an overview of the organization's priorities and the key steps it will take. This helps take stock of where the organization is now and defines the phases of implementation.

An organization can ensure the safety and well-being of its employees during the reopening process by first outlining its priorities and key steps. This allows the organization to assess its current situation and define the phases of implementation. The organization should emphasize that the primary concern throughout this process is the safety and well-being of the employees.

Having a concise plan for office reopening can have several benefits. It can help ensure the safety and well-being of employees, which is the primary concern during this process. It can also help the organization take stock of its current situation and define the phases of implementation. Furthermore, it can provide an overview of the organization's priorities and the key steps it will take, which can help in efficient and effective reopening.

While each organization's priorities may differ, some common ones focus on how the workplace will change in accordance with the reopening, how the workflow will shift as reopening occurs, and how risk will be managed with contingency plans and build better processes for future readiness in case of further outbreaks. (Slide 3)

To prepare for future outbreaks, organizations can implement several strategies. First, they can develop contingency plans that outline steps to take in the event of another outbreak. This includes identifying key roles and responsibilities, establishing communication protocols, and setting up remote work capabilities. Second, organizations can invest in technology and infrastructure that support remote work and virtual collaboration. This ensures business continuity even when physical offices are closed. Third, organizations can conduct regular risk assessments to identify potential threats and vulnerabilities, and develop strategies to mitigate these risks. Lastly, organizations can provide training and resources to employees to help them adapt to new ways of working and to ensure their health and safety.

Managing workflow shifts during the reopening of offices can be effectively done by clear communication and planning. It's important to establish a detailed plan that outlines the changes in workflow and how tasks will be distributed among the team. This plan should be communicated to all team members to ensure everyone understands their roles and responsibilities. Additionally, contingency plans should be in place to manage risks and ensure business continuity in case of further outbreaks. Regular meetings and updates can also help in managing workflow shifts effectively.

Our Priorities

Reporting time

Visually demonstrate to company management and employees what each phase of reopening will look like and when it will occur. The goal is to set expectations and provide every stakeholder with the same understanding of what each phase will entail.

This calendar visualization helps demonstrate the expected timeline of each phase over a six-month period. Because timelines can change rapidly due to local vaccination and infection rates, it's vital to have a flexible timetable that isn't hard-set around exact dates but can be pushed back according to specific milestones as needed. (Slide 6)

Additional visualizations demonstrate what percentage of each department will be phased back into the workplace across the multiple phases. (Slide 7)

Reopening Timeline

Tools and additional resources

To reopen properly, an organization will need a handful of tools that they can then share with key stakeholders to clarify how each decision is determined:

  • A hazard assessment quantifies the level of exposure risk each department faces from low to high, with percentage breakdowns on the associated risk of exposure across teams, clients, or business travel (Slide 10)
  • An organization will need to track which resources and supplies to keep on-site, provide for remote employees, have on-hand for hybrid office settings (Slide 14)
  • Communicate screening and testing protocols to set employee expectations and update them frequently so employee actions don't become too relaxed. (Slide 15)
  • Provide planned response for how to handle a positive test in the workplace, which will act as a systematic guideline that all managers and employees can follow (Slide 17)
  • You may also want to provide additional resources through their HR department to help employees cope with all the changes, protocols, and stress during this time (Slide 19)

Sick days and PTO

Quarantine and recovery times have changed the way HR calculates sick time. Communicate how sick days and PTO will work going forward to help managers and employees track time off and account for the difference between regular sick days, holidays, PTO days, and covid-related quarantine days. (Slide 18)

Sick Days & Pto

Frequently asked questions

Even with all of these resources, employees will still have questions. Include a frequently asked questions slide to address any other specifics to your office. Each individual will have their own concerns with safety protocols, whether it's over vaccinations, inter-personal concerns, or any other workplace reopening questions not covered in the example.
