Social distancing at work is at the front of our minds at the moment – no handshakes, no sharing desks, wearing masks as we move around. It feels good to respect the health and safety rules, but also different from how we used to behave in our pre-COVID workplace.
Health and safety in meetings
When it comes to planning meetings and events, keeping your participants safe, healthy and happy should be your number one priority. COVID-19 social distancing rules call for an extra level of preparation.
We have already shared advice about safe meeting room layouts. These are designed to help you set up a meeting room so people don’t sit too close together.
Remember, we recommend your guests should sit at a minimum of 1,5 metres (though this may vary where you are – be sure to check the latest national recommendations for your area).
Big spaces = extra room for social distancing
As well as layout, you should also think about the size of the room itself. The bigger, the better!
Maybe the meeting rooms in your permanent office are too small for safe meetings. Maybe your team is in home office and, after months apart, you’d like to ditch the Zoom call and get them together in real life. Or your event has a large audience and you are concerned you cannot fit everyone into a safe space.
Whatever the situation, the more space you have free in the meeting room, the more guests you can invite and keep to social distancing workplace rules. Guests will also feel more comfortable and relaxed, knowing you have provided them with a COVID-safe meeting location.
