What measures will Facebook adopt to reopen its offices?
By MYBRANDBOOK
As per news source, beginning in July Facebook Inc. will take measures like limiting offices to 25% occupancy, put people on multiple shifts and require temperature checks when it lets employees back into workplaces.
The company has chalked out to its staff globally on how it is planning to handle a return to major job sites starting July 6, providing a glimpse at what offices may look like more broadly when businesses reopen their doors in the face of the coronavirus pandemic.
Facebook will also put a limit on the number of employees that can be gathered in meeting rooms, create 6-foot spaces between work stations, replace cafeteria buffets with grab-and-go meals and initially keep office gyms closed, according to the people. The Menlo Park, California-based company also will bar outside visitors initially.
Staff must wear masks in the office when not social distancing, and in some locations, masks will have to be worn at all time while working. Facebook doesn’t plan to test employees for Covid-19, but it may do so in the future once quicker testing becomes more readily available, the people said.
Facebook is also chalking out ways to maintain social distancing in its shuttle buses, which are used by many Bay Area employees to get to the offices.
Major technology companies, including Facebook, Alphabet Inc.’s Google and Microsoft Corp. were among the first to close offices and send their workers home as Covid-19 began to spread in early March, particularly along the West Coast where the companies have their headquarters.
Facebook announced earlier this month that employees who are able to work remotely can do so through the end of 2020. While major offices will open in early July, some, such as in Asia, plan to let workers in earlier.
Not all staff can work remotely. Employees working on hardware, operations, or other tasks that aren’t possible at home will be asked to return to the office, the people said. In the Bay Area, local governments just relaxed shelter-in-place rules for employees who can’t work from home. Facebook may ask some hardware employees to return to the offices before July 6 as long as they are willing and abide by the new policies being put in place, one of the people said.
