Antimicrobial Coating and Increased Employee Confidence

Antimicrobial Coating and Increased Employee Confidence

As vaccines roll out across the globe, businesses are eager to move forward in a post-pandemic world. But so much has changed that many can’t simply return to business as usual. Therefore it’s important for business leaders to reimagine work and the workforce.

The remote work revolution sparked by the Coronavirus pandemic has led to a deep split among many office workers. According to Institute of Workplace and Facilities Management (IWFM) research, 44% of workers are worried about office cleanliness and are concerned about the health implications of returning to offices post-lockdown. As lockdown measures begin to ease, many are concerned about the realities of going back to the office – social distancing and appropriate hygiene and cleaning standards. “Workplace and facilities managers hold the key both to preparing buildings ready for reoccupation within new limits and to helping their organizations adjust to a new set of operating norms,” said Chris Moriarty, Director of Insight, Institute of Workplace and Facilities Management. According to Moriarty, there are wider challenges at play and it is naïve to assume “business as usual” post-crisis.
