How you should manage to return to work post lockdown
June 3, 2020
As Stage 2 of recovery for business is now in play, the focus this week is on returning to the workplace and considerations business owners need to address and implement. There is a lot to consider and we urge our clients to consult relevant experts and put a Covid Safe Plan in place
We understand that it might be easy to ignore the rules and jump straight back into the previous normal business operations however that would be a mistake that could be a costly. Imagine the cost to your business if one of your team contracts Covid-19 in your workplace due simple procedures not being implemented? You would be ordered to shut down until investigators trace people and deep clean your office. It is not worth the risk to skip steps.
So, what do you need to do?
The very savvy team at Business Depot have put together a checklist of what you need to have covered + provided links to a Covid Safe Plan template. As part of this plan you need to consider the following:
- Your workplace
- Size
- Ability to have social distancing
- Office limits
- Hygiene
- Employment conditions

We strongly encourage all businesses to follow this plan and ensure you are compliant as teams transition back into your business premises.
