This past year has transformed businesses, and business owners are facing a unique set of challenges. As you work to stay open, there are a few areas you need to consider to ensure the welfare of your employees and customers alike. Follow this guide to help you maintain safety at your company.
For Employees
As a business owner, you have limited control over who seeks business with you. Whether customers choose to wear a mask or not, your employees are facing new people each day. You can start by creating a supply of n95 respirator mask, rubber gloves and sanitizer on-site. This supply will ensure that your employees have access to the tools they need to stay safe. Additionally, allow for extra time for workers to wash hands as needed during their shifts.
For Customers
Every day customers are coming and going with the potential to be carrying germs. You may not be able to control who comes in, but you can prevent your shop from becoming a hotspot for the disease. To ensure that your shop is clean and safe, start implementing cleaning and disinfecting protocols. These protocols should include wiping down all surfaces and fabrics while wearing disposable gloves. Finally, be sure to send home any employee who is sick.
For Products
Covid has reshaped how businesses operate. As you implement new policies, you also need to ensure that any received products are safe. Start by checking on how your delivery company has responded to the pandemic. This check should include if they are using safe practices and how they are verifying that their employees are following these new rules. With a little effort, you can keep your employees and customers safe and happy.
The world of business may have changed, but with just a little effort, you can keep your doors open and your business safe.
