As we've been spending the last who knows how many days working
from home,
many of us have been wondering "when will we
return to the office?
And when we do,
what will that look like?"
While we don't have a date set for our return to the office,
we have developed a set of guidelines following
the California state COVID-19 industry
guidance for office workspaces.
We're going to do everything in our power
to create a safe and secure workplace for us all.
This means the post COVID-19 office you
come to will be a very different place from the one
you remember.
But that will be for the best.
What will our office look like?
Well, first of all, it might be quite empty.
Although the office may technically
be open, if it isn't essential for you to come in
we still encourage you to telework.
For those of us returning to the workplace
here are some of the key steps the company is
taking to ensure your safety:
We are redesigning the workspace to allow for a minimum of six
feet of spacing between people.
This means, for example, that a typical meeting room will only
hold 50% of its normal capacity.
We're also planning alternating work shifts
to minimize the density of employees in the office
at any given time.
Finally, we've arranged to increase
the frequency of our cleanings and created guidelines
for the sanitation of high-touch surfaces.
We'll also be asking you to do some things: take
daily temperature and symptom screenings upon arrival
at the office, wear proper face-covering, avoid handshakes,
regularly disinfect your own work areas with
provided supplies, take regular safety trainings,
if you are feeling at all unwell notify your manager
and do not come into the office. For a more detailed list
of anticipated changes
please visit our worksite plan.
Together we can build a safe workplace for everyone.
