It's no secret it's been a difficult year for everyone, but especially our Melbournians!
But as the COVID-19 aftershock waves slow down, and things slowly return back to normal, it’s time to begin thinking about welcoming staff back into the office.
Having people working back in the office will help in restoring some balance to routines, and lift spirits, but it's difficult to know exactly what you need to put in place.
While it can easily become overwhelming, here are some tips and tricks on ensuring your staff feel right at home, while working back in the office.
What makes ordering catering and kitchen supplies from EatFirst any different from anywhere else? We have partnered with all of our suppliers and have put together a set of strict guidelines, ensuring all COVID-safety measures are followed.
From free-standing sanitisation stations, PPE packs for staff, masks and more; EatFirst can supply all your post-COVID office supplies.
If you would prefer staff to wear a mask in meetings or around the office, then supply the mask! Put hand sanitiser stands at every entrance for easy access, and even go so far as to supply some personal cutlery, a water bottle and coffee mug. Not only is this a nice gesture, but will give great peace of mind!

A running supply of coffee, tea, fruit, milk and bread are an excellent place to start. Having the essentials in your office kitchen will help settle staff back with warm cuppas, refreshing fresh fruit and breakfast options.
Nobody can resist a small sweet treat. Order some welcome back cupcakes to boost morale from the moment they walk in. Plus, they are individually portioned, so you can ensure everyone remains socially distanced. Why not pop a cupcake on each desk for when they come back to work?
Where to order from in Melbourne:
Filling your office pantry with delicious and nutritious snacks will not only help everyone beat their 3pm slump, but give some life back into the office!

Ensure your desk spacing aligns with the current government guidelines about social distancing. This also applies to all communal areas, such as the office kitchen, the printing area, break room, boardroom and so on. Be sure to clearly communicate all changes!
Ensuring your setup is in line with the current recommendations, will help your staff feel more at ease.
If someone doesn’t feel comfortable coming back into the space full-time yet and can continue to WFH, then give them the space to do so. You’re number one priority is making sure your employees feel supported and comfortable to do their work.
