Do you serve clients at your facility or interact with the public? As you prepare to return to the work environment, it’s important to have a plan in place to optimize space and maintain a safe environment for your employees—which includes social distancing with the public.

We can recommend social cues or physical barriers that are aesthetically pleasing and blend with your corporate branding, focusing on long-term solutions rather than temporary barriers. This may include modification of reception desks, built-in casework, color coding of flooring materials, or accent banding that can be used for visual barriers.
