As a business owner, you may be feeling a huge amount of pressure during these difficult times. Running a business is stressful at the best of times, and all businesses go through highs and lows, but what is happening currently is causing enormous financial shockwaves, the likes of which we haven’t seen in our lifetimes.
With grim economic predictions and huge numbers of unemployment already starting to show, it is understandably a huge worry for both employers and employees.
As a business, it is essential to try to adjust to the post covid world, whilst we await life to return to normality. Of course, how you can do this will depend on the sort of business that you run and how you can ensure you can comply with the government guidelines.
One of the ways that you can start to return to normality whilst staying safe is to provide staff with face shields. Some pub chains are planning to open using these, and it is a good way to protect both staff and customers.
Asking customers to pay by card rather than cash also reduces the risk of infection and an online payment gateway such as www.sentient-group.com/ is useful for a business looking to set up a cash free from of payment.
Hand sanitiser is another important feature of operating a safe business – hand washing is proven to reduce the spread of many germs, not just covid, so is a welcome addition especially somewhere where food and drink are being served.
