Manage the return to the office, and beyond, including physically distanced workspaces, staggered employee schedules, limited capacity, and more with AgilQuest’s Workplace Management Software, Forum.
Making our way back to the workplace requires planning, brainstorming, acting, and reacting. What your company doesn’t need is for the process to take too much of your time and money.
AgilQuest’s SaaS, cloud-based Forum platform resolves many of the challenges COVID-19 creates when re-occupying office space. You can leverage our Back to the WorkplaceTM solution to Plan, Execute, Measure/Monitor, and Optimize new workplace processes to keep your employees safe, now and into the future.
As guidelines continue to change, it’s important to plan an efficient and easily adaptable return to the office. A few things to consider include physical distancing, work from home policies, creating a contactless environment, contact tracing, etc.
Then, you must think about the ways to carry out your plan. Whether that’s reducing available workspaces to limit capacity, managing who comes into the office and when, wellness checks, physically distancing the office with options like dynamic spacing, and more.
Next, you need to measure and monitor your workplace to understand what is working and what can change. Contact Tracing is a necessity in order to understand who was where and when.
With your office set up for physical distancing, and reporting to help you understand how the process is working, you will find it easy to adapt your workforce to the many phases of getting back to the workplace and to the "new normal."
Implementing a workplace reservation software to manage getting back to the office gives you confidence in your plan and enables employees to choose where and when they work so they can feel safe and supported.
Employees are able to schedule time in the office, manage upcoming workspace or meeting room reservations, indicate when they are working from home, and more from their mobile app or desktop. They can feel in control of where and when they are working, and make changes well before or just before their scheduled time.
Digital Signage, Mobile Apps, and QR Codes make it easy to create a contactless environment to reduce the spread germs. Employees can find and manage space from their mobile app and even instantly reserve a workspace or meeting room using their phones to scan a QR Code.
