There’s no doubt that it has been, and remains, a difficult time for business owners. Having to deal with lockdowns, rule changes and changes to working practices - all whilst trying to keep your business afloat and staff in a job. Some sectors have been hit particularly hard with many hospitality venues remaining closed and those that are able to open, hit hard by social distancing measures. Many office-based businesses have been quite lucky by having the flexibility to remain open, with staff working from home, and connecting virtually with their team. However, running your business virtually introduces a whole host of new challenges and as many business owners agree, getting back to the office needs to be done sooner rather than later. In order to open your office and get your staff safely back to work, the government has provided specific guidelines for you to adhere to. These guidelines include: Carrying out risk assessments Enabling social distancing for your workforce Managing customers, visitors and on-site contractors Cleaning your workplace Providing PPE and face coverings (where applicable) For office environments keeping your workplace clean and providing ample space for your workforce to socially distance is key. But it’s important to remember that your staff will need guidance to keep them safe. Directions on how to stay socially distanced and follow one-way systems will help them to adhere to the new working practices. People tend to follow visual cues much better than verbal instructions, so signs, posters and graphics are an effective way of keeping your workforce safe.
