Employee Health Screening: enables employers to screen employees before entering the workplace to ensure compliance with the employer’s entry requirements, such as a temperature check and personal protective equipment (PPE). Based on their own criteria, employers can determine whether it’s safe for the employee to enter the workplace. Employers can use a reporting dashboard to view trends by sites and record the return of employees into their facilities.

Contact Tracing: helps employers reduce workplace transmission of infectious diseases, such as COVID-19, by identifying any on-site employees who might have been in contact with an affected employee. The employer receives updates about the number of reported cases or symptoms in the location. A list of potentially exposed employees is created from various data inputs, including badge activity for when and how many times an employee has entered a building.

Workplace Safety Management: used to create safer, managed processes for returning employees to the workplace and staying open. Establish distancing plans, shift assignments, and sanitation scheduling and manage workspace allocation in stages.

Workplace PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) Inventory Management: to manage PPE inventory to help safeguard the physical safety of your workforce. Monitor the availability of PPE at different locations, fulfill employee requests for PPE, and track PPE assigned to employees.

Employee Readiness Surveys: send surveys to help gauge whether employees are ready to return to the workplace. Ask questions to get insights into how employees feel about returning to work, their current health status, and underlying concerns such as personal health, family obligations, and anxiety about workplace safety. Based on responses, you can measure and determine the steps needed to help employees feel safe and secure upon their return.

Employee Travel Safety: supports safe travel for employees by verifying the site safety and policy compliance of destinations, monitoring employee health status, and keeping a contact log during travel. Employees will request permission for their trips and the employee’s manager, or a designated travel approver, can approve or reject the travel request based on COVID-19 case data and a site safety evaluation for the destination.

Health and Safety Testing: streamlines  the process for requesting and receiving test results from employees, helping employers  reduce  the spread of  infectious diseases like COVID-19  in the workplace.
