Return to Office app and introducing ROMS
In collaboration with over 25 of our customers, the Return to Office (RtO) app template was created to support organizations in managing the return to the office after Covid-19 lockdown.
Given that ‘returning to office’ is only a temporary moment in time, we have continued to work with our customers to develop a hybrid approach for staff working remote and from the office in the future.
RtO will evolve into a solution for managing remote staff and office staff to become the Remote and Office Management Solution (ROMS).
The Challenge
With the easing of lockdown measures already in progress globally, the challenges organizations may face include:
- Keeping all employees safe and regularly updated
- Countries and states may relax or tighten rules depending on infection rates
- Different locations may have different rules
- Organizations may prefer to implement different or additional rules to keep their staff safe
- Auditing/reporting to ensure organizations are managing staff and visitor safety
- Managing desks, meeting rooms and spaces such as canteen, reception and breakout areas to ensure rules are followed
- Staff will want to understand how management are ensuring their safety and managing the return to work
Fliplet has produced the Return to Office app template to help organizations best manage these changes, streamline the management process and utilise our technology to enforce, communicate and notify staff.
