As many people return to the office in-person, how can you ensure your space is equipped for safe social distancing protocols? Business owners should always be concerned with the health and safety of their employees, so don\u2019t overlook an important aspect to keeping them safe: social distance-friendly office spaces. Below we\u2019re sharing a few considerations for business owners who want to procure a safe space for their team.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Look for Plenty of Space<\/b><\/h2>\n

This is going to be the most important factor to consider when searching for social distance-friendly office space. You\u2019re probably going to need more square footage than pre-pandemic. Keep in mind that furniture and tables will obviously need to be spread out, but there\u2019s also foot traffic to consider. It\u2019s crucial to look for spaces that provide ample room for employees to walk around, like on their way to the kitchen or break area. Seek out spaces that have wide hallways and plenty of exit and entry points for your team to access.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Spread Out Desks and Furniture Areas<\/b><\/h2>\n

Once you find an office with plenty of space, you\u2019re going to want to make sure the rooms are large enough to spread out desks and furniture. Start with the reception area and make sure it\u2019s not too tight for multiple visitors to sit in. Move through the office and look for larger rooms that can fit multiple desks or tables. If the rooms aren\u2019t large enough to accommodate multiple desks, you may want to look into purchasing clear plastic divider desk attachments.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Seek Out No-Touch Amenities<\/b><\/h2>\n

When looking around for the perfect property, you want to make sure the space includes no-touch amenities. No-touch soap or hand sanitizer dispensers are paramount to keeping your staff safe from harmful germs. There are also other beneficial no-touch appliances, like contactless sink faucets and doors that automatically open. You can always have these features installed later, but it will help you save time and money to choose a property that already has these amenities installed.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Look for Multiple Break Spaces<\/b><\/h2>\n

If your employees are ever feeling too crowded at their work space, you want to be able to offer them separate areas inside your office for them to spread out. Search for a property that offers plenty of break areas or independent work stations. This can mean a couple of different kitchens or coffee areas for employees to move around throughout the day.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Try an Outdoor Area<\/b><\/h2>\n

COVID-19 has shown us that businesses need to get creative to survive. So why not move part of your office outside? There are properties available that include outdoor work spaces for your employees to access. Not only does this keep employees safe with more airflow, but they will love the opportunity to step away from their desk for some fresh air.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
