Sharp UK launched a range of new technology stuff designed to support the safety of employees upon their return to the office.
The new solutions include: an updated Optimised Visitor Management system; the Communicate and Collaborate furniture range; and the Plasmacluster Air Purifier.
Sharp saw an opportunity to market such packages in June when it surveyed more than 6,000 office workers in small-to-medium sized businesses across Europe and found that over half claimed it was important for them to be able to meet with and work with colleagues physically. In addition, almost 58 percent said that working in a dynamic office environment had become more important since the pandemic.
These preferences are set to continue into 2022 amidst the latest government mandate for office workers to return to home-working. To support business leaders in meeting this clear demand for office working in 2022, while creating a safe environment, Sharp UK has launched Optimised Visitor Management (OVM) – The refreshed site-monitoring system from Sharp has been upgraded to help businesses manage their premises and keep employees safe from COVID-19. A range of furniture and digital signage has been designed to support the new hybrid workspace and an air purification and humidification devices to help prevent the spread of the virus in the air.
Julian Hodges, Group Manager – Product Marketing at Sharp UK, said: “The pandemic has brought a gauntlet of challenges for business leaders and a new threat landscape to company wellbeing. Now that the health risks are better understood, the expectation from employees is for their offices to be as COVID-safe as possible. At Sharp, we aim to provide businesses with the tools to create a safe workplace, and these new solutions are core to that mission.”
