Here is a list\nof the technologies you can use to promote a culture of safety and hygiene in\nyour commercial real estate properties for a safe return to work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Touchless Access Control<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When entering and exiting commercial real\nestate properties, you will likely need to touch doors that many other people\nhave touched. This can be a source of contamination and can make your workplace\nless hygienic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is why you should implement a touchless\nand keyless access control system. Your employees can have a <a href=\"https:\/\/iottechnews.com\/news\/2021\/oct\/04\/why-your-phone-is-the-key-to-better-building-security\/\">digital key on their mobile device<\/a>, which\nallows them to open doors without touching them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Touchless and keyless access control systems\nalso come with Bluetooth features that allow employees to wave their hands over\nthe access pad, which collects verification information from their mobile device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The touchless access control system integrates\nwith building security technology, allowing you to pair access control with\nvideo security to verify identity in accordance with access logs from your\ntouchless access control system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This can aid in verifying identity to ensure\nthat access has not been misappropriated and can allow you to manage visitors\nor employees as they move around the building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Desk Management Software<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In shared workspaces, you will need to ensure\nthat employees have access to desks of their own to prevent overcrowding in the\noffice. Desk management software makes this process easy by allowing employees\nto book a desk for themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Desk management software works by showing a\ngraphic of the office floor plan to indicate which desks have been booked by\nemployees. Seeing who has booked which desk means that employees can check\nwhether there is space available to work safely, maintaining social distance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By implementing desk management software, you\nwill make shared workspaces in your commercial real estate properties safer and\nmore organized, reducing the exposure to germs through social distancing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Visitor Management<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You need to use visitor management tools to\nkeep track of who is coming in and out of your commercial real estate properties.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Using visitor management tools will allow you\nto keep an accurate log of your visitors via digital registration. In the\ndigital registration process, you can provide wellness checks and gather their\ncontact information should coronavirus compromise the workplace and cause a\nneed for contact tracing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Automated Wellness Verification<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Automated wellness verification is a great way\nto screen for coronavirus symptoms in your employees before they can enter the\nbuilding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Daily surveys on their health and symptoms\nwill allow you to grant access to healthy employees and protect your building\nby blocking access to employees showing symptoms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also block access for an extended\namount of time which helps enforce self-isolation procedures and keep your\nother employees safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Summary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to protect employees in your\ncommercial real estate properties and promote a safe and hygienic approach to\nworking, you should install an integrated security system. This way, you can\nincrease the efficiency and ease of access regarding your security and safety\nprotocols.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The COVID-19 pandemic has turned the focus of workplaces towards ensuring the safety and wellbeing of employees, reducing the risk of the virus spreading.
