Post-Pandemic Workplace

• The Covid-19 pandemic has significantly disturbed
  work-life, altering the way employees work and do
  their jobs.
• It has also led to a lot of debate on the future
  of work and how office layouts need to change as
  per the new normal.
• Covid-19 has increased the need for office
  renovations to support social distancing and
  provide cleaner and more efficient workplaces.
• If you have a poorly designed office, it can
  result in mental health issues, anxiety, and
  higher stress levels.
• On the other hand, a properly designed office
  space will foster better health, collaboration,
  keep employees comfortable and happy, and promote
  productivity.

1. Prioritize Physical Distancing between and
within Workstations

• Many offices will need to make space to maintain
  a distance of six feet between workstations. Even
  if the government doesnt continue to mandate
  physical distancing, employees will feel safer
  and comfortable if they know that their
  workstation has appropriate social distance. You
  can invest in smaller desks or stagger chairs
  around the table to maintain the required
  distance.

2. Choose Open Floor Plans

• Open office spaces allow for easy cleaning.
  Moreover, the number of surface touchpoints for
  employees is lesser. Proper ventilation is also
  vital to restrict the spread of Covid-19. An open
  floor plan can give your opportunities to open
  windows and instantly improves office ventilation.

3. Focus on Furniture, Appliances, and Finishes

• In the future, workspaces need adaptable
  furniture. Their finish materials must be
  antimicrobial and easy to sanitize. Appliances
  must use the latest technology, limiting touching
  and making the office space more efficient.

4.Increase Meeting Rooms

• Many employees will continue to work from home. A
  small meeting room with the right AV equipment
  can allow two people to sit together and connect
  with the rest of the team.

5. Educate Employees

• With the help of a commercial contractor,
  introduce floor stickers, decals, emblems, and
  more into the office space. These will help
  employees follow the protocols, maintain social
  distance, and stay safe.
