The top reason for this sentiment? Concerns about contracting or spreading COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While no workplace can guarantee that the virus won&#8217;t be spread or contracted in their office, there are safety protocols, redesign measures, and mandatory requirements that can provide massive reassurance to anyone returning with trepidation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Taking the proper steps to prove that the building is physically safe to return to is the most crucial way to protect the people you&#8217;ve invested in. Here&#8217;s a quick run-through of the basics that people are going to be looking for as they re-enter the office:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Ensure that the building has improved its ventilation and air quality<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Have multiple hand sanitizing stations available<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mandate that shared spaces are regularly deep-cleaned<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Keep individual workspaces six feet apart<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Post necessary signage detailing mask, testing, or vaccine mandates for employees, visitors, delivery people, and custodial staff.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>As of the time of publication, it&#8217;s up to the discretion of the employer to decide if and what any requirements are to return to the office, including mandatory <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2020\/12\/03\/can-employers-require-covid-vaccine.html\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">vaccinations<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"7-how-clickup-can-help-\">\ud83d\udc4d <strong>How ClickUp can help:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Have your HR team create and distribute a COVID-19 Company Processes document via this <a href=\"https:\/\/clickup.com\/templates\/company-processes-1737m-78611\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">ClickUp template<\/a>; it&#8217;s easily editable so you can communicate safety guidelines and protocols clearly and instantly.
