With new social distancing guidelines in place, using manually-erected barriers aren\u2019t an option.<\/p>\n<p>Many workers follow flexi-timings, some work part-time, and others use hoteling arrangements. The most effective way of enforcing social distancing, while also maintaining the safety of the workspace, is by using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.deskflex.com\/\">workspace management software<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Facing the new workspace realities <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In the new world, it\u2019s likely not possible for any workspace to have 100% occupancy without changing the way they work. Desks and workstations must be used in accordance with corporate and governmental protocols. And that means:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Scheduling the use of desks, in close proximity of one another, to conform to social distancing<\/li>\n<li>Planning the use of workstations so there\u2019s adequate time for maintenance crews to sanitize and clean them regularly<\/li>\n<li>Taking measures to ensure conference rooms aren\u2019t used to full capacity, and that occupancy of such spaces complies with the 6-feet-apart mandates<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These are the new realities that many offices and commercial buildings face, as they draw-up back to work plans. However, in-office space hoteling environments, there are additional challenges confronting building managers and office administrators. How to manage co-mingling spaces, such as meeting rooms and common elements so all hoteling guests use the space safely and productively.<\/p>\n<p>With <a href=\"https:\/\/www.deskflex.com\/Products\/Room-Scheduling\">meeting room scheduling software<\/a>, these issues become less of a challenge.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Planning a safe return to work<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Top-of-the-line workspace scheduling tools are built to support flexible work resumption strategies.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Employees may remotely book office space, and check and manage their bookings from home, to ensure they have a safe place to work when they arrive at the office<\/li>\n<li>Room display touchscreens give visitors and hoteling guests the ability to perform contact-less bookings to limit the risk of transmitting or contracting illnesses\u201d<br \/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/submission.icrowdmarketing.com\/assets\/source\/users\/1908\/safe_back_to_work.png?1608911062641\" alt=\"safe_back_to_work\"><\/li>\n<li>Integrated Thermal detection features and Face Mask Detection functionality further enforces corporate and government-mandated COVID compliance in the workplace<\/li>\n<li>The use of Bluetooth-enabled smart beacons helps users view the status of designated workspace, wirelessly over short distances, eliminating the need to interact with office administrators or reception staff<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/submission.icrowdmarketing.com\/assets\/source\/users\/1908\/safe_back_to_work_2.png?1608911075524\" alt=\"safe_back_to_work_2\"><\/p>\n<p>Workplace safety is the primary responsibility of both employers and employees. Where possible, the best way to implement a safe back-to-work strategy is by limiting the frequency and need for avoidable people-to-people contact at the worksite. And, where such contact is unavoidable \u2013 such as during a face-to-face meeting in a conference room then implementing appropriate technological solutions to manage associated risk is the best way to go.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Back-to-work safety technologies&nbsp; <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The features outlined above are just some of the ways that state-of-the-art desk, workstation, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.deskflex.com\/Products\/Room-Scheduling\">conference room scheduling software<\/a> are helping to create workspaces in which it is safe to work. These software solutions, which seamlessly integrate into corporate IT systems, such as Microsoft Exchange and Active Directory, offer a safe and cost-effective alternative to using manual signs, hazard tape, spreadsheets and paper logbooks to guarantee a safe and productive workplace.<\/p>\n<div id=\"related_posts_wrap\">\n<h4>Also Read:<\/h4>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<hr>\n<div class=\"viacrowd viaimg\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/wp-content\/themes\/icrowdnewswire\/images\/post_via_image.png\" alt=\"iCrowdNewswire\"><\/a> <\/div>\n<p> <!-- Now display keyword(tags) if any, and Categories combined --> <!--<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"btn btn-primary\"> <a href=\"\" target=\"_blank\" id=\"related_posts_url\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">View Related Posts<\/a> <\/div>\n\n\n\n--> <\/p>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/heymuse.com\/automating-office-workspace-bookings-an-imperative-for-safe-back-to-work-strategies\/\">Automating office workspace bookings: An imperative for safe back-to-work strategies<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/heymuse.com\">Financial Market Brief<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>iCrowdNewswire &nbsp;&nbsp;Dec 25, 2020&nbsp;&nbsp;3:01 PM ET Traditionally, when office building maintenance crews are called-in for an emergency repair &ndash; a water main burst, or a malfunctioning electrical connection &ndash; they showed up and put giant wall signs or floor barriers to signal &ldquo;This space is off-limits &ndash; Use another!&rdquo;.
