How to secure workforces and workspaces?
Following this forced experience, is it still necessary to speak for the defence of home office? Indeed, what can be observed without a doubt, is that corporations have largely adopted this way of working, which will be without question, a matter that has to be addressed for tomorrows workforce.
Today, the return to office buildings looms on the horizon and major questions about risks management have to be answered.
1. The limitations of home office; A fact
The confinement has enabled everyone to better understand their limitations and affinities when working from home, some aspiring to more peace and quiet or more professional environments. For this reason, coworking spaces are a suitable answer
2. Commuting; A link to risks
Additional to the home office experience, returning to the office comes with the risks associated with the commute to the office, it is obviously crowds are still to to be avoided.
3. Flexibility; the USP
Considering the above-mentioned points, the flexibility seems to be the keyword. Over the last years, dashcom has tried hard to make this flexibility available for everyone, providing an app that references the coworking spaces and manages the workspaces inside office buildings. So, employees are informed about availabilities, in real-time about free desks on office premises as well as in coworking spaces. This way every employee can decide freely for the next day, without having to submit to the constraints of the company calendar. This agility meets with every single worker’s needs, depending on the role, position, activity and other priorities. Mr. Keller can spontaneously decide to go to the office to meet Mr. Zumwald.
4. Commuting to office spaces; a source of propagation
The digital transformation of workspaces, as dashcom makes possible, enables the company to guide the employee to the secured workspace, that is reasonably occupied. So useless transfers of employees seeking a place to work are avoided – the user is directed, in real-time, using the mobile app, to minimize any possible infection link. Our app monitors everybodies presence, in every space, while of course respecting their privacy. This kind of monitoring enables the employer to decide about the maximum capacity of each area to ensure social distancing.
5. The social distancing in office buildings; A requirement to be met
In terms of crowds, some areas are especially susceptible. The cafeteria is an example. In order to minimize the risks, dashwork monitors occupancy and tells the employee, in real time, whether access is allowed or not. This option enables presence coordination, without time-limiting constraints.
6. A tracing App to manage a new wave, a new pandemic?
The technology leaders, Apple and Google, will soon provide an interface that will enable our mobile app to trace potentially infected employees movements and contacts. That feature will enable the company to secure its workforce and its workspaces, monitoring the potentially infected areas and applying immediate separation. In other words, it is about upholding the legal obligations of the Swiss Federal Office of public health an enterprise scale.
