Like many of you, our team has assimilated to a “new normal” and are working from home. As we continue providing best-in-class service at a distance, we want to share these tips and suggestions aimed to increase your productivity and overall experience at home.
Many of us are no longer working in our place of business and have migrated to working from home during the Corona virus pandemic. This can be a challenging factor in our work life, and it’s important to maintain the same level of productivity as we would in the office. So here are some tips for effectively working remotely:
The world currently faces a global epidemic, and as we try to navigate the circumstances surrounding the spread of COVID-19, it is prudent to consider indoor air quality. The most effective means of reducing the transmission of this virus continues to be through respiratory etiquette, handwashing, disinfecting surfaces, and social distancing. However, the following engineering measures can be taken to maintain a healthy work environment, and may reduce virus transfer.
Simple things that can be done right away:
Increasing ventilation air-flow to purge virus and other contaminants from the building
Operating systems for a longer period of time, preferably 24/7, instead of just during the day time
Things that require some additional effort, but are an investment in long-term health:
Increasing air filtration to the MERV-13 or better
Installing UV or ionization filters to help kill viruses in the air flow
