RE-IMAGINED WORK – ARE YOU READY FOR THE OFFICE RETURN?
The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted and changed the world as we know it. Most of us have spent the major part of the last year or so at home and away from our workplaces.
With the recent nationwide decline in the new COVID-19 cases, we can expect to head back to the office soon. But heading back to the office has highlighted what businesses need to do to keep their employees safe. While COVID-19 is still here, the onus of keeping it out of the workplace lies on the employers. A part of this effort involves investing in professional cleaning services, even after the lockdowns lift.
Future of Work has been a buzzword for organizations globally. As the term suggests, Future of Work aims to capture and explain the various trends that are likely to impact work in all its aspects. With COVID-19 in the picture, the understanding of what accounts as the Future of Work has undergone serious reconsideration.
Many organizations are right now focusing on on-site activation and revitalizing the office to attract workers to return in person as soon as possible. Longer-term challenges are more complex because there are still a lot of uncertainties. We are still in the observation and experimental phase wherein we are traversing unchartered territories. We are taking initiatives in smaller sites before making big sweeping changes to our operations.
Having said that, protecting the staff and the consumer is of prime importance in the current scenario. We need to protect them from the risk of exposure to COVID-19 by implementing appropriate cleaning and disinfecting measures. A combination of cleaning and disinfection along with vaccination will be most effective in eliminating the COVID-19 virus.
In summary, there needs to be a focus on Cleaning, Hygiene, and Infection Control. The objectives of regular cleaning are scheduled frequencies, the elimination of dirt and germs, and general maintenance. Cleaning, hygiene, and infection control are becoming standard practices for all businesses going forward. The future of work is ambiguous and uncertain. Organizations need to redefine the way they operate to stand strong against any disruption that comes their way.
