Did you know that more than 4.3 million people in the US work remotely? As a business owner, the Covid-19 pandemic will have affected you and your business in many different ways. One of those is how your employees work.
Many employees have started coming back into their workspaces, but with restrictions still in place rethinking workspaces, post-pandemic is top of the priority list. Take a look at this quick guide for some ideas.
Lead the Way
It’s now important that employees maintain a safe distance while working. This often means creating a one-way system throughout the office space that workers can easily follow. Some offices have arrows printed on the flooring to ensure there’s no confusion.
However, creating a one-way system can often mean remodeling your office to accommodate for space changes.
Communal Space
If the pandemic and working from home has taught us anything, it’s that interaction with others is essential. Forming and building on good working relationships is a lifeline for many workers. Standing around the water cooler isn’t about slacking off; it’s about connecting with people.
Therefore, business owners have found it beneficial to create a communal space where colleagues can come together and interact while remaining safe. Creating a space like this can be challenging and often requires the help of a designer.
Desk Arrangement
It may sound simple but arranging desks within an office space can be tough. Workers can no longer be shoulder to shoulder with their colleagues so there needs to be a generous amount of space between each desk. Business owners have had to completely rethink the way the office is set up in the post-pandemic workspace.
For some this has meant designing individual offices or shielded spaces throughout. Others have had to consider whether some of the workforces should remain at home while working or move to bigger offices with more space.
