The Ultimate Guide: Workspaces During COVID-19

Sep 24, 2020

Covid-19 office safety

The world, as we once knew it, has changed dramatically since the inception of COVID-19. And in many ways, that change is most evident in the workplace. The pandemic has forced the adoption of new ways of working, and many organizations have adapted — acting swiftly to safeguard employees and mitigate risks where possible. As we continue to evaluate the safety and well-being of employees in the workplace, it’s more important than ever for businesses to remain open to change. Here’s why.

 

Employers have a responsibility to provide a safe workspace. 

Though open concept spaces provide a progressive and modern layout, it can be difficult to take social distancing measures with the design. However, shifting your company’s floor organization can have a profound impact on workplace safety. Employees with families may have anxiety about being around other people in the workplace, and this type of adjustment may help them to feel more at ease. 

With a redesigned workspace, employers can offer an environment that affords distance between team members while still promoting collaborative in-office interactions. Physical barriers like cubicles and modular walls are a great way to provide space between employees — allowing for physical safety and peace of mind.

Employees will soon be returning to the office. 

While remote work may be ideal for some businesses, it’s more difficult for others. As employees return to work, you hope and expect for them to be productive. Consider how your office space can encourage, promote, or hinder collaboration and productivity.

It’s important to consider all of the ways in which employees may be distracted from their work by the lingering concerns that come with a global pandemic. And a key component of productivity is the ability to feel safe. When employees understand your commitment to their overall health and well-being, they will be less likely to fear returning to the office. 

 

 

Employees want to work for organizations that care about creating the best work environment. 

As an employer, are you offering the best workspace to recruit and retain top talent? Potential candidates consider many things when choosing a new role or career path. Beyond requisites like work-life balance, employee engagement, a sense of purpose, and flexibility, employees are also interested in working in a well-designed, versatile work environment. 

The overall aesthetic of your space can contribute to productivity and morale just as much as the team dynamic, and it could be an important factor in an employee’s desire to join — and return — to the office.

Workplace Furniture is a dedicated Dealership who we highly recommend for your office furniture needs.

Sarah, their designer, was so kind and helpful throughout the whole process. She was patient in explaining everything to me and helped me map out the best products for the best price. When my office needs furniture in the future I won't hesitate to go back to Workplace Furniture

Everyone at Workplace Furniture was great to work with. Carla came to our office to take measurements and make gentle suggestions for the best use of our space. During the selection process she helped us decide which fabrics and finishes would work best for our design. The costs were in line with our expectations and budget. No surprises! The delivery service was quick and professional. Great experience from start to finish.

We ordered new office furniture and file cabinets from Workplace Furniture, never having used them before. We were so pleased with the customer service we received from every level of the organization! Thank you again for your fantastic crew! I don’t believe there are any better ones anywhere! You have truly cornered the market with them. Everyone in the organization has proven to be nothing short of excellent! They go above and beyond to provide stellar service for their customers.

We had a tall order to fill to outfit our office spaces for a big expansion in our company, Workplace Furniture and John Warren's team were fantastic to work with. Very thorough, personable and professional. From the start, John was knowledgeable and offered unmatched expertise to our space planning, all while respecting our budget. We are located in Nashville but the distance was no issue for this team, they were courteous and worked diligently to get everything setup in a timely manner. Would recommend to any company looking to acquire office furniture and installs.
