The health crisis linked to the Covid-19 epidemic has profoundly changed the world of work. And for good reason, teleworking has become highly popular! Nevertheless, it is sometimes necessary to meet in person to launch certain projects or simply to meet with colleagues. But how do you organise your post-covid events?
Many companies do not have a dedicated space for team meetings. However, it is possible to book meeting rooms in coworking spaces.
Thanks to barrier measures and the respect of sanitary measures, it is now possible to organise company events in complete safety and serenity.
Why continue to hold events?
Teleworking has given employees greater freedom. However, it is clear that team cohesion is lacking in this configuration and that it does not allow employees to unite. Yet this is a criterion that is strongly favoured by young employees, for whom feeling good at work is essential. It can therefore be said that the organisation of company meetings and other events creates links. This is reflected in project launches, seminars, team-sharing and other kick-offs!
Measures to respect the barrier gestures
In order to ensure that participants are safely welcomed, meeting rooms and work areas must be cleaned and disinfected after each meeting. This is why it is important to provide special PPE training to your teams in the current context.
Also, to avoid any risk of contamination, it is important to remind all participants in advance, by email for example, that wearing masks is mandatory during your event. If you have not already done so, think about investing in basic sanitary equipment: hydroalcoholic gel, masks or visors, etc.
You can also put in place signage: from prevention posters, to barrier gestures, to the maximum capacity of the meeting room. For example, for social distancing within the rooms, create a poster to put on the chairs to be occupied and left free.
Videoconferencing to communicate with absent people
Videoconferencing to communicate with absent people Since the health crisis, the video-conferencing sector has been booming. This means of communication, which allows you to communicate with your colleagues and staff from a distance, is experiencing constant growth, which has been boosted by containment. However, it is important to prepare it well by creating a roadmap or presentation. You can define the topic to be discussed, the questions and issues to be raised and a post-meeting to-do list.
This is a very useful alternative for meeting remotely when a face-to-face meeting is not possible. Meeting rooms now have dedicated technologies to facilitate exchanges within companies. For example, at Babel, we provide a Logitech ConferenceCam Meetup so that nothing is lost during the meeting.
Technological solutions to keep events going
Everyone agrees that technology will never replace human contact, that’s for sure. But it must be admitted that for a wide range of scenarios, certain technologies that are gaining in power are proving to be effective. These solutions combine event management offerings with networking features and virtual experiences. These experiences correspond to broadcast replay content. The advantage is that all participants can interact. This is the case with Eventmaker, one of the market leaders in France.
These technologies are all the more relevant when you want to hold workshops and meet potential new clients or partners. We can also think of other types of events that are particularly relevant for this type of format: sharing professional experiences with speakers, or the classic skype aperitif between colleagues
