Helping employees for returning to the office safely and confidently during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is no easy task. MayOffice gathered resources from the health experts to help us in preparing, deploying, and implementing the proper work plan when coming back to the office after COVID19.

 

Know-How Important Are Ergonomics Chairs For WFH

 

You should encourage the employees to let supervisors know if they think they have been in contact, with an employee dealing with COVID-19 symptoms or if they have symptoms. Workers must stay home unless they need medical supervision. Paid sick leave can be available to the employees while they recover doing WFH. Moreover, grant the employees, information about how they can request and use paid sick leave benefits (if needed).

 

 

What To Do If One Employee Gets Sick

 

 

Don’take COVID19 lightly, in case you find any one of your employees having similar symptoms of COVID19 or something relevant; do the following considerations:

 

  • Notify the employees and any authorized representatives within one business day (and notify any other employer who has potentially exposed employees in the workplace) of the time the employer knew of a COVID-19 case.

  • Determine which employees may have been in close contact with the employee having the COVID19 issues, also when the COVID-19 case was last in the workplace; if possible the date of testing and onset of symptoms.

 

Final Considerations

It’s the responsibility of all of us to help prevent the spread of COVID-19. You can protect yourself and others by being attentive about taking the steps for the workspace’s sake.

Make sure that your office space/premise is fully clean disinfected, and equipped with a blueprint for maintaining safe conditions. Don’t forget to create a plan for a safe work environment that protects employees and customers alike from risks connected to COVID-19, including exposure and transmission.
