Returning to offices safely after the government lifts Malaysia’s Movement Control Order (MCO) is now a concern to many. Here are the best practices for reopening your business at the office.

2. Implement physical-distancing rules.

• Allow your office to reopen, but only at a lower capacity to ensure physical separation between customers.
• Divide your team and employees to smaller independent groups.
• Enact “pods” for on-site personnel to minimize employee exposure while on site.
• Adapt to more remote working.
• Equip your staff with technology (i.e.Google suite, Zoom, etc.) to allow working from home as needed.
• Arrange all non-essential business travels to be postponed until further notice.
• Minimize on-site visits from vendors, interview candidates, and others and rely on remote meetings as much as possible.

3. Applying effective, large-scale sanitizing and testing to contain contagious chains.

• Conduct additional deep cleaning and disinfecting as needed.
• Install thermal scanners at premise entrances; deny access to people with high temperatures.
• Increase personal protective equipment where employees come in close contact with surfaces that can spread the virus
• Mandatory hand-washing/sanitizing upon building entrances.
