Returning to face-to-face work: The first step towards the new normal after covid-19

The covid-19 pandemic paralyzed the activities of many companies, but it is time to start again. Returning to face-to-face work is the first step of a staggered recovery that culminates in the new normal. But it is not just a matter of reopening the offices. It is also is important to consider when to return, under what circumstances, and who should do it first. Finally, it is necessary to establish indicators in order to monitor the situation effectively.

Returning to face-to-face work after the peak of covid-19

When planning the return to the workplace, there are several aspects that a company should consider. In this regard, a series of measures that apply to most companies and ensure an organized, safe return. These measures can be classified by categories, such as hygiene and health, communication, facilities, guided tours management, or trips and commutes. Some measures must be taken before workers go back to their posts and will remain active in the long term. Others, on the other hand, are implemented or eliminated depending on the evolution of the situation.
