Can we harness the Covid-19 urgency to improve workplaces?

Can we make workplaces healthier, environmentally friendlier and cheaper to run?

The gradual return to schools, offices and other workplaces makes workers’ safety an urgent priority.

But during the lockdown people have been expressing strong feelings about clean air and climate change. And their fears about safety have not gone away.

At the same time, costs savings are paramount for cash-strapped businesses across the board.

So how do you square that circle? How can workplaces be healthier, environmentally friendlier and cheaper to run?

Based on the work by the British Council for Offices (BCO), we have created a framework to decide on how to redesign workspaces (including new equipment), changing operational routines and monitoring the situation in real time.

We have also highlighted where GridDuck can help you achieve your goal.
