Workplace Considerations Post Covid-19

As Australian workplaces adapt to the evolving landscape post-COVID-19, businesses must consider several key factors to ensure the health and safety of their employees. The pandemic has necessitated changes in how we approach office layouts, relocations, and daily operations.

Adapting Physical Office Layouts

One of the most significant changes in the post-COVID-19 workplace is the need for redesigned office layouts to accommodate social distancing. Mcorp Consulting offers expert advice on creating physically distanced workspaces that not only comply with health guidelines but also promote productivity and collaboration. Key considerations include:

  • Desk Management: Organising desks to maintain appropriate distance between employees, reducing the risk of virus transmission. This may involve reconfiguring existing furniture or investing in new, flexible solutions.
  • Partitions and Sneeze Screens: Installing barriers between workstations to provide additional protection. These can be made from various materials, such as glass or acrylic, and customised to fit the specific needs of the office.
  • Traffic Flow Management: Designing pathways within the office to minimise close contact between employees. This might involve creating one-way corridors and clearly marking areas where employees should stand or walk.

By focusing on these elements, businesses can create a safer environment that reassures employees and supports their well-being.

Ensuring Safe Relocations

For companies looking to relocate their offices, Mcorp Consulting provides services that prioritise safety and efficiency. Moving office equipment and setting up new workspaces can be challenging, especially with the added concern of maintaining hygiene and social distancing. Mcorp Consulting offers the following services to facilitate safe relocations:

  • Equipment Sanitisation: Thoroughly cleaning and disinfecting all office equipment before and after the move. This includes computers, phones, furniture, and other high-touch items.
  • Social Distancing Protocols: Implementing measures to ensure that movers and employees can maintain safe distances during the relocation process. This might involve staggered moving times, limited numbers of people on-site, and clear communication of protocols.
  • Efficient Packing and Unpacking: Organising the packing and unpacking process to minimise disruption and ensure that all items are handled safely and efficiently.

These services help businesses transition to new locations with minimal risk, ensuring that employees feel comfortable and secure in their new environment.

Virtual Surveys and Contactless Deliveries

In response to the need for reduced physical contact, Mcorp Consulting offers innovative solutions such as virtual site surveys and contactless deliveries. These services allow businesses to continue their operations while adhering to health guidelines and reducing the risk of virus transmission.

  • Virtual Site Surveys: Conducting site assessments remotely using video conferencing and other digital tools. This enables consultants to provide accurate advice and planning without the need for on-site visits, saving time and reducing the risk of exposure.
  • Contactless Deliveries: Implementing protocols for delivering materials and equipment without direct contact. This might involve leaving items at designated drop-off points, using electronic signatures, and providing clear instructions for receiving and handling deliveries.

These measures ensure that businesses can continue to receive the support and resources they need while prioritising the health and safety of their employees.

Enhancing Workplace Safety and Well-being

Beyond the physical changes to office layouts and relocation processes, businesses must also consider the broader aspects of workplace safety and well-being. Mcorp Consulting offers comprehensive advice on creating a supportive and healthy work environment, including:

  • Health and Safety Policies: Updating workplace policies to reflect new health guidelines and best practices. This might include regular cleaning schedules, protocols for reporting illness, and guidelines for remote work.
  • Employee Support Programs: Providing resources and support for employees’ mental and physical well-being. This can include access to counselling services, wellness programs, and flexible work arrangements.
  • Training and Communication: Ensuring that all employees are aware of new policies and procedures through regular training and clear communication. This helps to create a culture of safety and encourages employees to take personal responsibility for their health and the health of their colleagues.

By addressing these broader aspects of workplace well-being, businesses can create an environment that supports the overall health and productivity of their employees.
