Episode 101: RTO and the Future of the Office
In 2022, many companies are navigating how to return to the office (RTO) safely and smartly. In this episode, we address this challenge and explore some possible technology solutions surrounding RTO.
Remote Check-in and Continuous Location Tracing (CLT)
Accommodate CDC-recommended questions as well as location-specific questions to screen employees before going to the office, monitor for social distancing violations, and perform contact tracing to limit the spread of germs in your facility. If an employee tests positive, our continuous location tracing (CLT) technology allows you to retrace a path for that individual through your facility and aid sanitization efforts. All information is anonymized (key access control) to protect employee privacy. A cornerstone of our framework is accurate location services to know where assets and people are.Temperature Detection
Combine state-of-the-art temperature scanning (thermographic cameras) with facial detection, mask detection, and facial recognition for the right use cases. Centrally manage your cameras and sensors with the ability to aggregate all captured data. Integrate with Connect Aware to match up the remote check-in success with temperature and mask validation. Do you need to measure someone’s temperature with connection to their identity (single file detection) or do you want to pick out the person with elevated temperature in a crowd coming into a building (parallel detection)?
Touchless Entry
Next-generation mobile identity and seamless access through doors and turnstiles delivers a touchless experience that makes the new workplace secure, healthy, and convenient. Integrate seamlessly with the Connect Aware app for a single authority on all checks a person has gone through prior to entering a building. Mobile access with automatic door openers eliminates the touch points that come with a traditional card system and solves tailgating at the same time.Alerts and Info Sharing
Monitoring your facility and alerting employees of contaminated areas and violations of social distancing is an important part of your RTO plan. Integrate with digital signage and a content management systems (CMS) to allow content that is specific to RTO or safety. Interrupt CMS with alerts on areas to avoid, due to contamination, etc. Provide visitors with helpful videos on what to expect as they approach the building and how to negotiate the new entry requirements.
Smart Workspaces
Organizations are adopting hotdesking/hoteling as an effective strategy to optimize occupancy and facilitate enhanced cleaning during the pandemic. Manage desk and conference room usage to maximize your resources and ensure a sterile work environment. Integrate wayfinding solutions and workflows to keep employees secure, productive, and informed.Augmented Mentoring
Minimize exposure and risk by limiting the number of people onsite in your facility. Virtual technologies, from headsets and glasses to mobile devices, facilitate remote work and enable your employees to provide assistance, conduct audits, make rounds, and engage in teaching/learning just like they were in the building.
