The last time I wrote about how property managers can help their clients through COVID-19, the US was in the early stages of the pandemic. States were beginning to issue stay-at-home orders and businesses were working hard to keep their employees safe, all while maintaining their operations.
Although it doesn't appear that we're near the end of this international crisis, workplaces will slowly and tentatively begin to reopen as states and municipalities revise their guidance. We're already seeing early signs of this in Texas, Georgia and Minnesota. As firms weigh their options in states where reopening has begun, it's critical for property managers to prepare to welcome their tenants in larger volumes, advise ownership on best practices and help implement those practices to keep everyone safe.
Here are five ways property managers should be preparing for re-entry into the workplace.
