Our modern offices were designed to be open and inviting areas. However, in the wake of COVID-19, these designs may help spread contact and airborne germs. As you open your doors to customers, consider the following improvements in your office’s reception area.
1) Remove reception duel seating
Instead of couches in your reception areas, place single chairs 6ft apart. Opt for chairs that are easy to wipe down in between users.
2) Remove contact machines & coolers
Replace vending machines and coolers with no-contact alternatives such as touchless water dispensers and individually wrapped snacks.
3) Keep a customer count
If virtual meetings are not possible, restrict the overall foot traffic in your reception area. Use dry erase boards to keep a tally of how many people enter and leave your facility. Add 20 minutes breaks when all exit to clean and disinfect.
