As a business owner, you must update your office
before bringing employees back to work. How
can you create a space that is engaging, safe and
efficient? Rockway is here to help.
You need your employees to feel safe and comfortable
at work. Since COVID-19 has changed our perception
of what “safe” and “comfortable” means, your
workplace must shift as well.
Unless your business has dedicated offices for each
employee, your space is likely not following new CDC
guidelines. You want your employees to return safely
to work and be as productive as ever. But for that to
happen, you must adapt your office for social
distancing measures. And, while your office must
be safe and clean, your employees don’t want their
surroundings to feel too cold and “sterile.” How can
you strike the balance?
You can create a work environment that is efficient,
engaging and reflects your company brand. Research
shows that employees are more productive in an
environment where they can connect with their
company’s mission and identity than in stock-standard
cubicles. They will also feel more comfortable working in
an office environment where it’s clear their needs have
been accounted for.
With a little help, you can adapt your office for multi-
functional spaces that follow recommended social
distancing guidelines. And, you can do it without
compromising your branding, messaging, or the style
of your workplace. Not sure where to start? We’ll show
you. By following these simple steps, you can design
your environment to reflect both your company’s brand
and the new normal we live in.

dividing your spaceIn open workspaces, clear acrylic partitions will delineate work areas while bolstering team spirit. These will
help your employees respect social distancing guidelines, while still being able to see their teammates. Allowing
employees to create their own space within these sections will give your team a sense of ownership and
encourage camaraderie. Your account manager at Rockway can also help you implement your own branding
on these dividers. This will keep your office space consistent and promote your brand message. Or, you can use
these dividers as whiteboards for added efficiency.
You can even implement
whiteboards and more to keep
things multi-functional.

multi-functional piecesFreestanding partitions can act as “walls” and be used
to divide sections of the workplace. You can use these
as guidance for distancing measures or to tie together
a space with partitioned desks. They can also be used
as backdrops for video conferencing, as more and more
meetings are held by Zoom. These branded, portable
“walls” will help foster a team environment and allow you to
make adjustments as needed. Flexibility is a bonus here, as
guidelines change depending on the state of the pandemic.
contactless check-inIf your business regularly receives visitors, you may need to make adjustments to the way they sign in. Use an
iPad station to protect your employees from having personal contact with guests. Well-placed disinfectant wipes
make it easier to ensure the screen is cleaned between uses. But, a little separation doesn’t mean you have to lose
the personal touch of greeting a customer. Clear acrylic barriers (or “sneeze guards”) on your front desk can help
protect your receptionist from close contact while still allowing them to engage with guests.

over-communication is keyIt’s going to take a lot of work to update your business practices. You need to make
sure both clients and employees know the new changes you put in place. Branded
signs that explain exactly how you’re keeping them safe and supporting their needs
will ensure they know what to expect. In a time where practices are constantly shifting,
digital banner displays make it easy to update these procedures as they change.
Simply upload the changes and you’re ready to go. These digital displays also cut
down on time and expense, as there’s no need to wait for new signs to be printed.
stronger together (but six feet apart)To make your environment both CDC compliant and productive, design a space where your team and clients
can collaborate while staying at a safe distance. In the office, you can use freestanding partitions, signs, or even
digital art to convey separated spaces. Our team at Rockway can help you with backlit wall signage to display
any artwork you’d like.
