As the offices continue to reopen, we have witnessed an emergence of the new guidelines and processes in place to ensure the safety of employees. There is an increasing need to perform health-screens of employees even before they come to the workplace so that the employers can make sure that they as well as their co-workers, are healthy and safe.<\/span><\/p>\n

Limiting the contact can help prevent the spread of the COVID-19 and the potential damage caused by it at the workplace. This makes it essential for organizations to implement processes that ensure zero-touch while the employees come to work.<\/span><\/p>\n

One of the ways businesses can achieve this is by knowing beforehand if employees or visitors have any symptoms. A contactless health-screen survey asks questions based on the common COVID-19 symptoms as declared by the health authorities.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Why do you need contactless health-screen surveys?<\/span><\/h2>\n

It helps you know if the person is at risk and in some cases aid in contact tracing all without touching any surface or device – in the building.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Once the respondent answers the survey, you have the essential data on who entered, when, and were they healthy enough to be allowed in the building. Generally, the visitors are requested to answer the survey within 4 hours before they enter the premises. It helps the organizations better plan the facilities and be more prepared for the day.<\/span><\/p>\n
