According to news reports, researchers are making progress on better tests and treatments for COVID-19, and even a vaccine to prevent the disease. While that’s encouraging, it’s still possible (some might say “likely”) that the pandemic will forever change the way groups gather and interact.
Even if we’re able to get back to something like the “old normal,” it’s important that scheduling departments are prepared to respond to similar situations in the future. So, now is the time to look at your meeting rooms and the event-related services you provide from a fresh perspective—one that recognizes that you and your team play a vital, if unexpected, role in helping prevent the spread of disease.
As states and municipalities start to reopen, they’re providing guidance on how to promote or enforce social distancing. Obviously, it’s important that you understand and follow the restrictions that affect your operations. However, generally speaking, there are seven steps you can take to ensure that your rooms are safe to use and that you can provide services in a way that minimizes the risk of disease transmission.
These are, of course, just some of the steps you can and should take to protect your staff and attendees. What’s crucial is that you stay informed about meeting and event restrictions in your area and, just as importantly, develop a mindset of continually looking for ways to update your room layouts, services, and processes for even greater safety.
