Corona policy goes wrong at printer and desk | Financial

Real estate advisor Cushman & Wakefield packed its own head office on the Amsterdam Zuidas with 55 motion sensors to see how its own employees adhered to the 1.5 meter rules. These are indicated with stickers, walking routes and even color differences in the floor covering, according to the own anti-corona concept ‘6 feet office’.

In this test environment, it turned out that the distance was not properly maintained in 13% of all situations, according to a report that the real estate advisor published on Monday. There were no problems at all in the toilet groups, while the corridors also kept a good distance. In the kitchen and meeting rooms, things went wrong in one in ten situations.

“The situations in which the standard was not properly adhered to mainly occurred in the vicinity of desk workplaces,” says Asaël Akkerman of Cushman & Wakefield. According to him, the bottlenecks were relatively easy to solve using the test results. “Taking responsibility and continuing to communicate are crucial.”
