1) Empower your employees with the knowledge: let your employees understand what is Covid-19, how the virus would be transmitted, what the symptoms would be and the consequences. Even though this kind of information is all available online and on news, it is still necessary to pass the information to the employees from an employer's perspective.It could be a training or in the form of newsletter or others.
2) Provide your employees with guidance on hygiene and protective products: have full supply of cleaning products at office and tell your employees how to clean well. Also, provide masks and other protective tools for them.
3) Workplace sterilization: it would be hard to justify when the workplace is not tidy enough and sterilized well. So employers must make sure the office areas are cleaned properly.
4) Administrative measures: employers can separate the work stations apart to avoid close contact of employees. The admin team can monitor the body temperature of employees on a daily basis as well.
5) Virus test: if the employer has the resources and money, it is also good to have the employees tested for the Covid-19 to make sure that those back to office are healthy.
