COVID-19 and your
return to work
How Mobius can
help you navigate
“the new normal”
Introduction
There’s so much information available about how best to make your workplace COVID-19 secure and compliant, ready for you and your colleagues to return to work.
But it can seem overwhelming, especially when you’re tasked with reconfiguring your space or sourcing new fittings and furniture.
We’ve put together this short guide to help you find the best solutions for your office, your colleagues and your budget. You’ll also find details of how we can help you switch up your workspace, and understand what “the new normal” could look like for you.
Whatever your needs, we’re here to help you stay safe, productive and compliant – now and in the future.
Workstation solutions
Manufacturers have created a range of screens designed to minimise the risk of close physical contact and to protect your colleagues when they start returning to work.
These are all quick and easy to install and add safety to your environment, while still encouraging safe and social interactions between teams.
We offer a range of clear, easy-clean acrylic or fabric screens. If you’d rather not invest in new ones, we also provide screen toppers that can be fitted onto existing screens.

Collaboration-space solutions
Before the COVID-19 outbreak, some of the biggest buzzwords in office design were “collaboration” and “openness”.
Working together and enjoying open spaces are still of critical importance, but now we must look at how we can facilitate these things while staying safe.
Dividers and standing screens can help you section open spaces and create non-obtrusive barriers in the workplace, reducing the risk of infection and offering peace of mind for you and your team. Using these will also give you the option to change the layout of your meeting rooms, your breakout areas, and your collaboration spaces – however and whenever you need.
Space dividers and wayfinding
The need for social distancing means rethinking office layouts and how people move within your space, without losing the enjoyment and productivity of collaborating within your teams.
Our design team can help you to reconfigure your workplace to ensure that you’re safe and compliant with Government guidelines. Dividers can help you to define different zones in your open-plan office, manage acoustic levels and allow you to create one-way walking plans throughout.
Using floor tiles or carpet tiles with directional arrows can create clear zones, helping people stay safe and adopt new behaviours in the workplace.

Space planning
The Government has stated that where it is not possible to stay 2m apart, people should keep a distance of ‘1 meter plus’ in the workplace.
We can identify areas of concern in your office and offer solutions to rectify this. What’s more, we’re able to calculate how many people can fit into a given space at any one time, reduce the number of workstations and provide protection to your employees.

Right now, we have to be more mindful than ever of our ability to clean our workstations.
If you need to replace chairs or add screens, these are now available in a range of fabrics and vinyl that can be easily disinfected.
Cleaning can mean vacuuming fabrics, removing stains before they have time to soak in, or doing a deeper clean – such as dry-cleaning certain fabrics. Disinfecting fabrics can involve using soap and water, alcohol, bleach, antibacterial sprays, wipes or even steam cleaning.
Please refer to this guide from Camira for more
detailed information on cleaning methods for existing fabrics and vinyl within your workplace.
Personal protective equipment (PPE)
Hand-sanitising stations and improved hygiene standards within the workplace will be a prominent fixture for all of us moving forward.
We can help with the supply of PPE, personal sanitising kits and dispensers to make sure you have all you need when the time is right.

We now have a duty to ensure the health and safety of those working from home.
