Post signs & messages to help the team form healthy habits.

  • Helping a company full of people adopt stricter hygiene habits doesn’t happen overnight. It requires a lot of little reminders over time, and some friendly, well-placed messages are the best way to do that.

  • Consider posting friendly reminders on the office walls or over Slack about handwashing, disinfecting, and physical distancing. Feel free to get as creative as you want with these reminders. What’s the funnest way you can remind people to wash their hands or greet each other at a distance?

Survey the team to learn more about what would empower them.

  • Incorporating enhanced safety measures for the indefinite future is a learning experience for all of us, so it’s important to check-in with your team regularly. They may have some helpful insight on how to adjust the protocol in a way that works better for everyone.
