We are proud to join Colliers and Upflex as an initial member of Safe Spaces™, a program designed to enhance workspace standards post COVID-19. The goal is to ensure members and employees feel safe so businesses can come back stronger than ever! Here’s how it will work:

Social Distancing at Our Coworking Space

At Nomadworks, we have been conscious of social distancing guidelines since the beginning of the pandemic, and have our New York City coworking location strategically laid out to allow our members to stay a safe distance apart from one another while using our facilities. 

Here are the Safe Spaces guidelines on social distancing we’ve been implementing at Nomadworks:

• We’ve implemented social distancing measures and prevent unnecessary close contact to help prevent the spread of infection
• We’ve worked with our internal term and members to maintain physical space between people in the coworking space, keeping at least 2 meters (~6 feet) between members 

Cleaning & Disinfecting of Private & Public Office Spaces

Whether you are hot desking or using a dedicated desk in one of our shared coworking areas, or are keeping to yourself in a private office space,  we’re fully committed to maintaining as cleanly of an office space for you as possible.

We’ve been utilizing disinfectants all along, and easily comply with the Safe Space guidelines of cleanliness:

• Professional cleaning is done frequently to remove germs and lowers the risk of spreading infection.
• We have reviewed the list of approved disinfectants by the EPA and have ensured cleaning staff are aware of the correct products to kill off germs on clean surfaces.
• Windows and doors (to the extent possible) are opened to increase air circulation
• All surfaces are thoroughly cleaned and disinfected at least twice a day, including:
  • Doorknobs and door push plates handrails and buttons on elevators
  • Desks and chairs and all tables
  • Bathroom faucet handles, paper towel dispenser handles, toilet flush handles, and hand dryer buttons
  • Kitchen faucets, refrigerator handles, coffee pot handles and buttons, and microwave and toaster buttons Light switches
  • Handles and buttons on all equipment (e.g., printers, audiovisual equipment, telephone, monitors, etc.)

Top-of-the-Line Hygiene at our Nomadworks Offices 

We want our members to feel as comfortable as possible in the midst of COVID-19, and have taken the provisions outlined by Safe Spaces on hygiene very seriously: 

• Members are provided:
  • Paper Towels
  • Tissues
  • Alcohol-based hand sanitizer (at least 60% alcohol)
  • Disinfectant wipes
  • Hand soap at all sinks
• Install additional hand sanitizing stations in high traffic areas throughout the workspace
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth with unwashed hands
• Post signs educating members about proper hand-washing techniques:
  • Washing hands with soap and warm water for at least 20 seconds is effective and should be done frequently and always upon the following:
    • Before eating;
    • After sneezing, coughing, or nose blowing;
    • After using the restroom
    • Before handling food;
    • After using shared equipment such as computer keyboards, etc.
    • Provide safety and hygiene training for all employees

Food & Beverages at Our Office Location

In order to ensure the least possible transmission of germs, we’ve began:

• Offering paper cups for coffee, tea, and water
• Providing only pre-wrapped food 

Incident Reporting

We’re communicating frequently with our members to ensure that: 

• If a confirmed case of COVID-19 is present at out workspace, or individuals with-in our workspace have been exposed to a confirmed case, we’ll be notified immediately and will quickly perform a full cleaning and disinfection of the workspace
