From symptom surveys to cubicles to cleaning protocols to new apps, COVID-19 has business leaders scrambling to implement a myriad of strategies that will enable the safe return of their employees to the workplace. In order to return, companies must improve their cleaning practices, ensure social distancing is possible, and put employee safety first while also balancing business continuity. It’s a tall order.
InnerSpace, an indoor location platform, hears from its Fortune 500 clients that everyone is taking a different approach. But with no proven guidebook to follow, the common thread is that measurement and responsiveness will be the differentiating factor to success.
InnerSpace is a key enabler in helping businesses return to the office, offering:
Safety – InnerSpace provides contact tracing to help track direct and indirect transmission instances without downloading an app, enabling business with business continuity. This includes using WiFi to identify direct and indirect contact or no contact, arming employees with information about their risk.
Measurement – There’s no rulebook, so monitoring and measurement is critical. InnerSpace measures density and social distancing, identifies high-risk areas, and helps inform people traffic to ensure people can work safely and that policies are being followed.
Scalability – Solutions need to be easy to roll out. Using existing WiFi makes it easy to deploy in all buildings. And, because no one has to download an app, the program starts working instantly.
James Wu is founder and CEO of InnerSpace.
