As offices reopen, health and wellness strategies will become a crucial part of design and operations
Never before has implemented strategies to benefit occupants’ mental health and physical well-being been more critical than now. Will this place make me sick? That will be the question on the minds of anxious occupants as they begin returning to your facility. It will be up to you, the fearless facility manager, to allay those fears. Health and wellness strategies will be inextricably linked to the new normal of office design and operations. The new normal of the immediate future of social distancing, more-frequent cleaning, and limiting exposure to high touch surfaces will be crucially important as occupants return to the workplace and want to feel safe against COVID-19.
The Immediate Future
Much of the new normal, both in the immediate future and in terms of long-term shifts in-office strategy, will run counter to how things have always been done. In this new reality, proper Covid-19 cleaning will have a great impact on businesses, facilities, schools, consumers, and individuals more than ever before. According to a surveyby GP PRO, 73% of employees are concerned about an outbreak in their office. This translates to almost 3 out of 4 people in the building being worried about the person next to them. Cleaning is essential to promote confidence in a return to operations and provide a safe and healthy environment for us all. Whether cleaning plans are executed in-house or with COVID-19 cleaning companies, they should be integrated and transparent.

As the world continues to reopen from pandemic closure, the challenge to quickly develop and implement standards and guidelines is the highest priority for Covid-19 cleaning companies. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, facility managers overlooked the value of having a cleaning plan in place. Amidst the coronavirus pandemic, the world has come to realize the harm that can result from improper cleaning. Today, businesses are seeking ways to reopen their facility safely. To aid facility managers and our local community, we have developed an Infection Prevention Program that is designed to provide the solutions facility managers may need.

Reassure Your Facility Occupants
Even though a business may say they are professionally cleaned and disinfected frequently, patrons won’t be confident in your facility’s cleanliness unless your cleaning approach is visibly noticeable. Professional appearance is important and can leave a lasting impression. The sight of appropriately attired workers using professional cleaning tools and equipment builds confidence among facility patrons. Ensure that building occupants see cleaning staff not only wearing PPE, but also wearing it correctly. Incorrect donning of personal protective equipment (PPE) is a poor visual communication of your cleaning plan. Continuously emphasize the benefits and importance of wearing PPE – such as masks – correctly. Communicate to the public in detail the tasks the cleaning department performs and how it is meeting standards and guidelines. Post signage that shares how and how often areas are cleaned and disinfected.
We Clean for Health
Cleaning should not be focused on appearance only. The idea of cleaning is to secure the health of an area. Cleaning is for health! Looking clean is important but being clean – achieving a condition free of unwanted matter – is more important. Now is the time to have a robust and transparent cleaning plan and execute it at maximum levels. As a facility/property owner/manager, it is your responsibility to ensure your facility is being properly cleaned and disinfected.
Cleaning is essential for the reopening of our country. As a leader in the cleaning industry, we implore you to take advantage of the options available to you, to help contain the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic. If you do not know what to do to protect your facility, the first step you can take is by contacting one of our disinfection specialists at 1-866-782-4WOW for a free consultation or request a free estimate online.
