The Work from Home culture was considered as the only saviour for multiple industries, however a good percentage of organisations have opened their doors and expect employees to get back to work.

There have been constant sudden shifts in the working pattern that organisations are forced to enforce, solely depending on the current situation caused by the pandemic.

Workplaces have reopened even though the pandemic wave has increased double fold, creating chaos and an uncertain environment where businesses are required to function.

With the virus currently showing no signs of slowing down, the term “getting back to work” is not the same; novel issues have emerged that could put an employees' life at risk if not implemented with caution.

Multiple restrictions have been imposed, the office environment is different and protocols have been revised. However, in the constantly changing environment there are multiple factors that can be missed out.

Are the novel safety measures implemented 100% accurate, is there even a 1% chance of an employee getting infected?

What is the right communication to be put forward by the Facility Management Team to the workforce?

What steps must be taken if employees cannot handle the responsibility of managing work as well as adhering to the novel and stricter protocols recently implemented?

Initially offices functioned with only 10% of the employee ratio, however with the plan to increase it to 50% in the near future, offices need to make room for employees.

How do you ensure a smooth transition without affecting operational procedures also keeping safety of the workforce in mind?

With a high cost and low revenue pattern that businesses have been pushed into recently, the concept of 6 Feet Office has to be implemented immediately.

An over reliance is seen on the Facility Team to adjust to the norms of the constantly changing ‘new normal’. Therefore, an overall analysis of the current working environment has to be conducted with a contingency plan that also ensures a comfortable environment for your employees.
