Ready for Reopening Checklist for Businesses

MAKATI CITY, Philippines - July 13, 2020 - PRLog -- The pandemic has been very difficult for everyone. Yet, in all of these uncertainties, there remains a sense of hope. For many businesses, in particular, they look forward to the day of their reopening when they can welcome back their old patrons and new clients alike.

The reopening event also presents an opportunity for businesses to earn and reinforce the trust of their clients. Allow us to offer some guidance in the form of a short checklist as you prepare your business for this important day. What follows is not an exhaustive list, but it can set you on the right track.

·        Set Concrete Targets

Decide on the reopening date. Schedule your preparations with that date in mind. Make sure to set your priorities right as well. Remember that it is more important to ensure that proper public health practices are in place. Do not make the mistake of reopening sooner than you are ready. Unrealistic goals and the unnecessary rush will not only lead to failure. Instead, these things can also hurt your reputation. They can likewise add more stress to everyone who has been struggling to recover from the pandemic.

·        Encourage Everyone to Cooperate

Strategically place hand sanitizer and disinfectant wipe stations around your facility. Doing so can also make your staff and clients feel that they are actively involved in the efforts to keep the facility safe for everyone.

·        Increase Your Standards of Cleanliness & Sanitization

Increase the frequency of conducting thorough cleaning, disinfecting and sanitization of your facility. Provide training for your employees so that they can be prepared and equipped to face the challenges of operating in the new normal business setting.

·        Make Sure You Have Enough Stock

Heed public safety recommendations from reputable sources. Regularly manage your inventory of cleaning products, tools and equipment. Consider contacting a reputable manufacturer or distributor to ensure that you always have a steady stockpile of cleaning and disinfecting essentials.

Your actions showing your commitment to put the health and safety of your employees and clients above all else can go a long way. For one, they send a clear message that you recognize the vital roles that your employees play to keep your business running. Those considerate actions also tell your clients that you genuinely care for them. These positive impressions you can create not only strengthen trust, but build loyalty to your business as well.
