If there’s one problem that sours an employee’s daily work, it’s having to stand and wait in front of a locked door to the restroom. We are steadily approaching a post-Covid business world. It makes sense for every business manager to at least consider new ways to keep their employees safe when returning to work.
The restroom is no exception. In most buildings, restrooms are located outside of the work area. Most are out of sight. A common problem for customers and employees is what to do if they get to the restroom and it is locked. This leaves the now frustrated person with two choices. Either stand in front of a locked door and wait or return to their workstation and keep one eye open to see if anyone comes out. Neither option is ideal. Both result in idle and unproductive time. Remember, not all restrooms are nearby. It may be down the hall and out of sight, or even in another room!!
