Coronavirus Return to Work Guidelines and Checklist

The COVID-19 pandemic paused life as we know it over one year ago. Many workers and students found themselves in the office or classroom one day, and then scrambling to find a suitable space at home the next. Now, as many stay-at-home orders begin to expire, federal, state, and local governments are implementing plans to reopen businesses. Many businesses are also deciding when is the right time to bring staff back to work, and it is critical to have detailed strategies and protocols in place before bringing staff back to the office.

Many businesses are following the CDC guidelines to, “conduct an on-site symptom assessment, including temperature screening, prior to each visit. Ideally, screening should happen before the individual enters the facility.” It is stated that 88% of individuals with COVID-19 show signs of a fever, therefore temperature screening is one of the most practical ways to help potentially infected individuals from interacting with others.

How Visitor Management Evolved to Support COVID-19 Requirements

The old saying “You never get a second chance to make a first impression” rings true in more ways than one. While the sentiment is usually used to describe people, the same can also apply to places that create a lasting impression, like building lobbies. The lobby of a building serves as a welcoming entryway, the place for instructions and directions, and as the hub of the building. The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic added a new job description for the lobby, that of first line defender of the health and safety of everyone who enters a building.

How Hospitals are Balancing Visitor Management Challenges with Continued COVID Screening Requirements

The early months of 2020 ushered in a virus that not only took over headlines, but took over the world. The COVID-19 pandemic has affected millions of people around the globe, bucking social norms, workplace rules, and basic everyday life. Healthcare workers find themselves at risk, working round-the-clock to find a cure, comforting those afflicted, and protecting the public from an invisible foe. The pandemic brought unprecedented challenges and decisions that require nimble and unique solutions.

How COVID has changed Visitor Management Security

Safety and security systems are a must for any business that maintains a physical presence, from a K-12 school district to a large warehouse, a community hospital to a sprawling healthcare campus. While surveillance cameras and access control systems provide a high level of deterrence, these solutions normally focus more on employees with less security features tied to the visitor and vendor population. Therefore, the missing piece of the puzzle is an Enterprise Visitor Management System.
