In general, what COVID procedures are iQ doing at the location level to keep everyone safe?

We are following the guidance and advice from the Public Health Agency of Canada, the World Health Organization, and the Centre for Disease Control. 

Some procedures include; 

1. Daily Screening 

Implementing screening stations and tracking attendance onsite is an essential component to a sense of safety for all.


2. Sanitation
 

All shared spaces and high-contact zones are on a two-hour cleaning rotation by best-practice-trained cleaning professionals. Hand sanitizer and disinfectant wipe dispensers are widely available throughout all spaces and Private Offices, which offer additional precautions like recyclable desk mats.


3. Social Distancing Measures 

Keeping a healthy distance [6ft or 2M] has become our new normal globally, and your return to work will be no different. Highly-visible directional decals and capacity markers in lounges, meeting rooms, kitchens and booths will help Members work, collaborate and circulate safely. When extra space is required, Flex Spaces—converted offices and meeting rooms—can accommodate both staffing needs and social distancing requirements. All Private Offices have been reconfigured where necessary with new desk orientation and/or desk removal, and plexiglass shields. 


4. Adaptation  

Safety A·where·ness means re-looking at literally everything: from replacing shared snacks with individually wrapped single-servings to providing private offices on an as-needed basis to rehauling our Member Benefits Program with new features aimed at helping Members thrive in the new work world, be it in-office or remote. 


5. Communication 

Fostering an open dialogue with our Members during this unique time is very important to us as ultimately; we are here to meet your needs.
