Workplace Lockers:
Return to Work
Take a look at how smart lockers will help prepare you for the hybrid workplace.
Rearranging & Renovating the Office
Many companies are planning to completely rebuild the inside of their headquarters to be more in line with the hybrid work environment. We won’t know exactly what works until we have the data to prove what is working and what isn’t working. This is why establishing a flexible and agile workspace is crucial for the success of the office.
Hybrid Workforce
Agile Offices
The office is not dead — they only have a different purpose than before. Instead of having an office as a place to simply report to everyday, the driving focus will be collaboration and a spark to everyone’s creativity. The concept of a hybrid workforce is that some people will switch off from going into the office and working from home, or even a third party location like a coffee shop.
This leaves a huge opportunity for companies to turn their workspace into a place that their employees will feel comfortable in and be excited about. By implementing shareable desks and lockers that employees can reserve via an app, fewer desks and lockers are needed. Since the office might look emptier than usual, it leaves more space for collaborative areas.
Flexibility & Adaptability
Assigned Lockers
Assigned, personal lockers are important for those employees who need to report to the office everyday. Have comfort in knowing that employees have their own personal space where they can safely store their belongings. Assigned lockers keep typically high touch areas down to a minimum with only one person using a single locker.
Unassigned Lockers
No need to worry about employees coming into the office without a space to call their own. The employees who are constantly in and out of the office can reserve a desk and a locker on the day they plan to go into the office. Instead of using a shared keypad on a locker door, employees can reserve smart lockers via phone app — allowing them to choose the size, location and duration of use.
Visitor Management
It’s a good first impression when you can offer a place for visitors to store their personal items. With our smart lock technology, seamlessly integrate workplace lockers with the visitor management system. Effectively managing visitors will be extremely important as we maneuver throughout the new office. These lockers know when they need to be cleaned and will automatically disable itself. Once the locker is cleaned, it will be made available to use again.
Cleaning & Smart Materials
Cleanability
Post pandemic has cleanability at top-of-mind when it comes to office amenities. Implementing smart lockers with no locks mounted to the doors allows for an easy-to-clean surface that will make everyone more confident to use these shared spaces. It doesn’t stop with the surface — the smart locks add an extra convenience making locker management a breeze.
With smart locking systems for lockers, the locks can be set up to go into cleaning mode and automatically be disabled for use. Once the locker is cleaned, it will automatically be available for use again. Give your employees a sense of confidence that shared spaces around the office are regularly disinfected.
Smart Materials
We offer various types of materials that lend themselves to cleanability without compromising on design. Laminates with antimicrobial properties, powder-coat painted steel with antimicrobial properties, materials infused with copper and solid-surface, non-porous materials with no seams are just a few of the laminate options we offer.
Although cleanability is important, the look and feel of these lockers are just as crucial to the office environment. Create a welcoming centerpiece for employees and visitors that aligns with the company culture. Even add biophilia or various textures to elevate the design and provide a sense of calm and relaxation to the space.
