Overview
As we get deeper into winter, it's important to understand the challenges we face at this crucial point in the pandemic, and the latest developments in testing that are allowing businesses to continue operating and providing safer spaces for their staff.
This webinar will provide an update on the COVID testing available for travel and events, as well as corporate and workplace testing. We will also highlight some of the emerging options to help proactively tackle the risks, such as antibody testing.
On the agenda...
- What factors you’ll need to consider (including the less obvious)
- How to transform office space to accommodate new ways of working
- Case study: how are real companies doing it right now?
- How to support homeworkers
- Our top recommendations for equipment (including affordable options)
- Useful services available to help with the switch to hybrid
This webinar is hosted in association with Breathe Assured, who are a UK government approved COVID testing provider, founded and led by hospital doctors. Posturite have been providing clients with the means to test staff onsite through our rapid antigen tests over the past 6 months. We have recognised the growing demand for travel, corporate and event testing to help mitigate risk; but we know that some of our clients require a more robust approach, which our partners at Breathe Assured can offer and will cover in this webinar.
