It’s no secret that the COVID19 crisis is likely to have slowed down the world of events. The numerous health measures have put the brakes on seminars, conferences and all other professional events. EMOTLO gives you some detailed advice on how to organize COVID-friendly business events.
Inform upstream
You certainly plan to send an email to your participants before the day of your event. Take advantage of this opportunity to include a section on the sanitary measures in place.
The number of participants
With the exception of Covid, your reception venue needs to be adapted to the number of guests. However, in order to allow distance between participants and good air circulation, you’ll need to choose venues that are all the more spacious.
For seminars or conventions, condemn every other chair to space your participants sufficiently apart.
One direction of traffic
To prevent your attendees from passing each other head-on, mark the floor to indicate the direction of traffic. You can also provide appropriate signage for entering and exiting your room. The same applies to stairways.
Hydroalcoholic gel
Not providing your guests with hydroalcoholic gel is now inconceivable! Set up vending machines in front of each entrance to ensure everyone’s safety. And to make sure you don’t forget, don’t forget to provide masks for those who get distracted!
Disinfect
Wherever possible, disinfect areas regularly during the day. Take advantage of breaks to clean tables and speakers’ microphones.
The importance of reconnecting with your employees
While telecommuting may have enabled your employees to continue working and stay healthy, it has also demonstrated its limits in terms of teamwork and group cohesion. One lesson learned from this health crisis is that success is not simply a matter of moving in the same direction separately.
The period of confinement has unfortunately created distance and isolation for all your employees. It is therefore vital for the smooth running of your company that your employees have a shared sense of motivation, as well as group cohesion. As a manager or company director, it’s your duty to re-establish links with your staff and reinforce the team spirit within your structure.
To boost group dynamics, we recommend workshops, team building, conferences, seminars, etc. Use professional event organizers like EMOLTO to guarantee compliance with sanitary measures.
