Touchless Technology Promotes Healthy Buildings and Workplaces for Improved Productivity

With a tough flu season already underway, millions of employees are trying to prevent the spread of illness at the workplace.

It seems that this flu season is already more severe than it has been in almost 13 years according to The Washington Post. “Not since the 2009 H1N1 swine flu pandemic has there been such a high burden of flu, a metric the CDC uses to estimate a season’s severity based on laboratory-confirmed cases, doctor visits, hospitalizations, and deaths”

Winter is traditionally a prosperous time for respiratory viruses and more employees are using office buildings in a hybrid way. The COVID-19 pandemic and return to work initiatives catapulted the desire for less physical contact and fewer touchpoints in the workplace to avert illness – further advancing the demand for touchless technology.

It is imperative for workplace and building management teams to adapt to employees’ evolved expectations of the work environment and help prevent the spread of disease. Technologies that enable touchless interactions are the perfect solutions for limiting employees’ exposure to contracting a virus or sickness. Implementing touchless capability technologies provide a frictionless office experience so occupants can easily get into their office buildings, productively get their work done and go home, all while maintaining proper social distancing.
