What will the offices after the coronary be like?

For years, offices have brought together more and more workers in small spaces, creating an open, cooperative atmosphere.

For years, offices have brought together more and more workers in small spaces, creating an open, cooperative atmosphere.

“Think of technology companies, with a large number of employees working at adjacent tables, with each other, says Gable Clarke, inter-director design director at the SGA architecture studio. Today, with COVIDD-19, things are going in the opposite direction with what people want to face when they get back to work.

While companies are planning on how to get people back to the office, a number of accounts must be made to create a job environment where employees feel secure, healthy, and productive. Part of this strategy envisions testing and monitoring workers to prevent the spread of the coronary, and architects are thinking of effective physical design of offices.

And first of all, and the most important thing, people need to feel secure” says Janet Pogue McLaurin, from the world studio on design and architecture.

Her studio has created a software on how to “demine” office. Both architects say these changes may include:

One-way traffic range

Better Air Filtering

Elevator command, no touching.

Videoconference even inside the office to avoid conference room

Perhaps the workplace should be split in half. Half of the employees could come on Monday and Wednesday; the other half, Tuesday and Thursday”, Clarke said. During the alternative days, tables would also be alternative.

“Another recommended change is the removal of family photos and personal objects from the tables, since it is responsibilities” Armen Vartanian, vice president of global services in Okta, said. “will certainly be more hygienic to have work tables equipped with the latest technology that employees can choose every day and that can be cleaned”.

Health Police

And, prepare for the healthcare officer. Companies will have to hire someone to make sure employees follow the distance rules. The implementation of the new rules becomes important, as it is in the nature of people to bring together” ] Clarke said. Work from home will become more common. A search by Genssler indicates that some employees would like to work from home.

“Some of the early results show that people are quite productive at home” He said Pogue McLauri. She expects this to continue, at least my part, which may have negative implications in real estates at owners”. In the short term, however, companies may need all the necessary space for employees to maintain distance.

There's a lot of challenges when people are working at home. They're social beings. She adds that it will not be the same.
