Virus-Safe Workspace

Brands are launching social distancing office concepts to keep employees safe

Trend - The COVID-19 pandemic is reshaping the way society functions, with the concept of work having been drastically altered. Brands are creating custom concepts of what the future of work will look like including separating workspaces by 6 feet, implementing walkway directions to avoid congestion, limiting shared workplaces, and increasing sanitization.

Insight - When economies reopen, the current pandemic might not be over and many people will still be concerned for their safety. Even after a vaccine is implemented, many will not forget the jarring reality that a new virus may hit at any time. Consumers are looking to brands to provide safety measures to mitigate these fears and allow them to return to a new state of normal.
