Crooked Monkey's Top 10 Return to Work Essentials
1. Door Opening Key Chain
Our Door Opening Key Chain is the perfect tool for avoiding dirt and bacteria that exist in common public places and surfaces such as door handles, elevator buttons, office drawers, printers, and copiers, etc. Prevent the spread of COVID-19 and other viruses in your office space by providing the office with the tools they need to stay as hands-free as possible!
2. Foot Operated Door Opener
Our Foot Operated Door Handle mounts on any commercial latch-less wood or metal door. This return to work essential gives those in the office the option of pulling doors open with their foot instead of the door handle. This essential item is the perfect solution to make your office space even more touch free! Put one on the office door, one on the door to the break room, but dont you dare forget the office bathrooms!
3. UV Clean Phone Sanitizer
With our UV Clean Phone Sanitizer, you and your office mates can plug in your laptops or power bank anytime and anywhere to rid their belongings of germs, bacteria, and viruses! Not only is this device helpful for those of you who share technology, but this easy to to use UV sanitizer can also disinfect cell phones, keys, credit cards, and writing utensils to ensure a cleaner workspace as employees come and go!
4. Face Masks (Custom Reusable & Disposable)
Just like everywhere else you go, when you head back to the office, mask will be a requirement. And with the PPE shortage, these can sometime be hard to come by. So we got ahead of the game and started sourcing disposable masks from our contacts over seas. By choosing to offer disposable masks to those in your office, you encourage the importance of protecting ones self to protect others. You can check out our different styles of disposable masks at our disposable mask inventory page!
But… If you want to do them one even better, we suggest checking out our inventory of custom reusable masks. Supply your team with a mask that they can wash and reuse daily, but with the added incentive that its just so much cooler! Encourage the health and safety of those in your office, and also up your brand awareness with our custom branded reusable face masks. Plus, were offering free design right now!
5. Automatic Hand Sanitizer Dispenser
Chances are, before we had any idea about this pandemic you already had a few hand sanitizer dispensers installed here and there around the office. Unfortunately, with the severity of this virus, here and there just isn’t going to cut it anymore and you should probably do your team one better. Who wants to touch all over the same dispenser Sally just did after walking out of the bathroom without washing her hands? (We all know a Sally) Not me says Bob! No need for an issue, our automatic hand sanitizer is the perfect fix!
6. Table Top & Floor Stand Dispensers
Hand Sanitizer is an absolute necessity for the return to work, but we can’t just offer it here and there like we used to. As we head back to our office spaces, it is important to supply your team with sanitizer in even the most random of places. That why both our table top and floor stand hand sanitizer dispensers made this list! With these return to work essentials, you can provide hand sanitizer nearly everywhere while offering you and your team that extra bit of safety needed for peace of mind!
7. No Touch Thermometer
This handheld non-contact infrared thermometer instantly reads body temperature from a safe social distance (1cm-5cm) by forehead scan and is the perfect tool for testing employees for the COVID related symptom of high fever. In most states, the government has enforced widespread temperature recording as a requirement for the return to work and will be necessary for employers to enforce daily. You may already have one of these, but you’re already here! Why not grab an extra?
8. Hand Sanitizer
With all those dispensers, you sure are going to need some hand sanitizer! Buy it by the gallon to fill up each of your new dispensers, or pick up a few hundered of our smaller sized branded hand sanitizers. These are the perfect items to pass out to each individual in the office for personal use, as well as a great promo item to spread the news about your brand. In some places, Hand Sanitizer is like gold, what other better way to get the word out about your business?
9. Alcohol Wipes
Our 75% Alcohol Wipes kill 99.9% of bacteria and prevent cross virus transmission on commonly used items in the office such as keyboards, copiers, and office phones. Offer each employee a canister of their own and ask that they keep up with regular wipe downs of their belongings. Especially after visitors come into the office or after others on the team have visited their work space!
10. Pocket Facial Tissues
Though this item may seem simplistic, our 3 Ply Pocket Size Tissue Packs are the perfect item to offer each employee in your office to assure tissues are readily available but also to prevent the spread of germs through the usual communal tissue box!
Make Your Return to Work Essentials Custom to Your Company or Office Space
We believe just as strongly in our Return to Work Must-Haves as we do our reusable face masks. But again, just like our masks, if there’s one thing that can make our Return to Work Must Have’s even better its customization!
Customize items like our hand sanitizers, door opening key chains, and alcohol wipes with your company logo and offer them as gifts to your team. Nothing ensures you care about your team or tenants like offering them the tools they need to stay safe in their return to work. And with the added incentive of branding- Custom Return to Work Must-Haves are a no brainer for your business or office space!
