The constant refrain from those individuals weary of COVID-19 restrictions is that they can’t wait for things to return to normal. In truth, what people will be returning to is a new normal – one shaped by the lessons companies learned while trying to operate during a pandemic. Hybrid workplaces will be one of the new paradigms for workers who may wind up splitting their time between home and office. One of the technologies that will make that possible is the use of smart lockers for office environments.
Among the biggest lessons learned by companies trying to maneuver their way through the pandemic, is that many workers feel they have become more productive at home because they’ve eliminated all the residual noise and interruptions that define most busy workplaces.
Add in the time saved by not commuting and many workers are perfectly ready to embrace the new normal – albeit with some changes. Smart lockers for office use and outdoor parcel locker units are two of the best new tools being incorporated in hybrid office environments.
The challenge presented by both of these strategies is that employee spaces are no longer their own – companies allowing workers to work from home are also reducing brick and mortar office space and introducing shared workplaces.
That means the logistics involved in the storage of personal effects, files, and any equipment, tools, and other specialized resources has to be carefully considered. Companies have to find secure locations easily accessible for employees who often share items or equipment.
Smart lockers for office integration allow users in workshare environments or who are not working as hybrid employees to receive deliveries and store them safely without having to be there to receive them.
These secure business solutions also enhance employee productivity by not interrupting them throughout the day to accept deliveries or deal with unpredictable drop-off times. In addition, commercial smart lockers help facilitate the confidential exchange of sensitive documents without having to alter the schedules of those involved. It’s a great way to maximize efficiency while increasing productivity, which is the ultimate goal of these new integrated hybrid work environments.
Proactive organizations are not merely using smart lockers for office for temporary storage, drop-offs or package pickups. Instead, smart lockers are also being used to help support beleaguered IT departments, for example, often overworked because of the demands involved in keeping external workers connected.
IT teams can easily deliver or exchange new or repaired equipment, send new tech to employees, or use lockers for intra-office deliveries. Food delivery for those workers physically in the office but still practicing social distancing can also be made easier with smart locker solutions. Radio stations that offer prizing to listeners can also make use of outdoor parcel locker units.
