Return to Work Protocols for Office Environments

MAU has offices in Utah, Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina. They have implemented a plan that accounts for their associates, and also takes local and state regulations into consideration.  The plan for returning to office work is also designed in phases. In Phase One, only essential personnel are allowed back in the work space. These MAU associates are mostly in positions where they have to be present at the building and their job is better performed on the premises. All other MAU associates will stay quarantined and continue to telework. 

MAU is leveraging ProcessMAP’s COVID-19 mobile solutions to help their associates perform self-assessments and provide notifications to supervisors and medical staff, eliminating paper-based processes. This has resulted in a more efficient entry protocol for MAU associates. 

Return to Work – Phase Two

As MAU prepares to implement Phase Two, they will roll out associate self-screening and incorporate mental health checks through the ProcessMAP app to everyone and continue to protect the more vulnerable by allowing those associates to work from home. They will allow gatherings in common spaces; however, they will have social distancing protocols in place. Travel restrictions will continue to remain in effect.

Return to Work – Phase Three 

Technology will be a key enabler for MAU’s Phase Three strategy. They are evaluating various solutions, such as a questionnaire screening app from a local hospital group, which will require respondents to complete questions about their lifestyles and health conditions. Low-risk associates will be invited back into the office, whereas people with very high risk will either be allowed to work from home or will visit the facility for a very limited time, to minimize exposure.
