From Our Family to Yours
While COVID-19 has locked many of us in our homes and forced companies to adopt remote working measures, there are some businesses that cannot function effectively without access to their main office. If your company uses proprietary systems or enforces security measures that are not compatible with a work-from-home approach, then you have no choice but to come into the office and work as per usual.
While this can be concerning for you and your employees, following proper safety guidelines and adopting hygienic practices will greatly reduce the chances of COVID-19 spreading through your office. Contrary to the panic that the media has incited in the country’s workforce, it’s possible to drastically lower the chances of contracting the virus from your office if you take the right steps to clean your workplace and use established preventative measures.
One of the most common strategies to help maintain regular office productivity is to disinfect your office either with a reputable cleaning service or with your own supplies and tools. Regardless of your approach, an organized cleaning routine and effective hygiene practices are essential for a number of different reasons. It helps to curb the potential spread of COVID-19, it gives your employees peace of mind and it also keeps your business running.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has published a set of effective hygiene guidelines that cover the cleaning and disinfection of workplaces. These routines can eliminate the presence of COVID-19 on surfaces and objects in your office and will provide your staff with peace of mind to continue working and being productive.
Here’s what you should know from these detailed guidelines:
The main hurdle to overcome during the pandemic is finding a way to offer peace of mind to you and your employees. If your staff are unable to work from home due to the nature of your business and its processes, then commuting to the office can be a daunting prospect. Even if the chances of contracting COVID-19 at the office are slim due to your cleaning processes, there’s still a chance that you and your staff may be infected during the commute.
Establishing clear guidelines, tracking staff members and suggesting safer commuting options can help diminish these fears and prevent the spread of COVID-19. Here are some options to consider:
While the pandemic has become a major concern for businesses of all sizes, perhaps the most affected group are smaller companies and retail stores that cannot afford to work from home to maintain business operations. Analysts have predicted more than 15,000 store closures by retailers as a result of COVID-19, and this is on top of the millions of Americans that are filing jobless claims which brings the total to 22 million citizens losing their jobs.
So to answer the title of this article; yes, you should disinfect your office as soon as possible. In order to keep the economy going, we have to start taking active measures to keep our businesses running. For offices, that means thorough disinfection and adopting hygienic practices to help protect workers and prevent the spread of COVID-19. We hope that this article has proven useful for business owners that are looking to resume operations and open up their offices after an extended period of downtime.
