Proptech and Covid 19 : How technology can help in the "Return to the office" move
The BBC published today an article, which demonstrates the challenge faced by companies to lure back their staff to the office, in those uncertain times of COVID 19.
The article key points are:
People are anxious of going back to the office
A lot of aspects need to be catered for when looking at securing the workplace
Technology can offer new solutions
Our daily life is filled with technology that makes our life simpler, but our working life is lagging behind
Ability to demonstrate the office is a safe environment is key to bring back people in the office
However, in our view, one point could have been reinforced :
If over the last few years, staff Well-Being (mental, physical….) has been an important factor for some companies, with the Covid 19 crisis, it has become a key point, especially the actions taken by companies to look after it. It is only by adopting this approach that companies will be able to keep their staff's trust. Those two points, Staff's trust and Wellbeing@Work, are crucial to get the employees back in the office.
In a business, three main departments are able to influence the relationship of an employee with its company
Human resources
Facilities management
Health and safety
In order to achieve the greatest level of staff Wellbeing@Work and Trust, companies need those three areas to
Speak together through easy communication channels, breaking any potential silos
