As offices continue to reopen, we're witnessing the emergence of new workplace safety requirements.
At Proxyclick, we’re getting questions from our users on how to best use our platform to safely manage incoming employees, contractors, and visitors, while also adhering to guidelines on preventing the spread of the virus.
Today, safely managing all people on the premises involves implementing a touchless check-in experience. Here's what to know.
A "touchless check-in" or a "touchless sign-in" for all those arriving at your building does not require touching of equipment or surfaces upon entry into a building, office, or facility. Limiting surface contact can help prevent the spread of COVID-19 and potential future outbreaks in the workplace.
To facilitate this sign-in experience within Proxyclick, we've released new product features as part of our completely contactless workflow. (Learn more about the touchless sign-in process here).
At the same time, however, we strongly advise you to continue to adhere to regulations or guidelines put forth by national or regional health authorities. Recommended procedures can change daily, so be sure to stay updated to make business continuity decisions accordingly.
Before your staff member or guest arrives, be proactive. Your lobby isn't the place to screen people anymore.
With Proxyclick's remote registration process, send customizable questionnaires and safety videos in advance with an invitation email. Be sure that anyone coming to your building properly complies with your health and safety guidelines. If they don't comply, you can automatically alert your hosts.
Hosts can also send risk acknowledgment forms, NDAs, or other documents to invitation emails for employees and guests to sign in advance, replacing the need for signing agreements by hand upon arrival.
Strengthen your health and safety processes by integrating a touchless temperature scanner with Proxyclick. Upon arrival at your location, easily scan your employees right in the lobby, and restrict their access if they have a fever. (Learn more about our temperature scan features here).
If your employees or visitors comply with health and safety guidelines sent in advance, grant them access through specific turnstiles or doorways in your building by sending them a unique QR code. Forget providing them with a special keycard that you'll have to pass back and forth.
Visitors receive these codes via an invitation email (as long as pre-registration criteria are met), and can scan them directly from their mobile devices.
Employees, once added to the Employee list in Proxyclick by company administrators, are granted access via the Proxyclick Proovr sign-in app. Once downloaded on their smartphone, they can scan this app against QR codes shown at kiosks or access control points listed above.
These secure, unique QR codes grants employees, contractors, and visitors access to specific areas of your building, during specified times of day. With the Proxyclick Proovr app, if employees forget to sign out on the day they arrive in the office, the system will automatically check them out at midnight.
To help maintain the spread of COVID-19, organizations around the world are implementing health screening procedures for anyone entering their buildings.
However, companies should not lose sight of regulations surrounding this sensitive data, as well as local differences in how it needs to be processed and stored.
