Implement a daily check-in process to monitor employee occupancy at federal buildings. This will provide leadership with real-time data on capacity and ensure accountability as the workforce returns to the office.
Choose a secure, approved tool within the agency for daily check-in. Options may include:
Ensure the tool can integrate with your agency’s email and notification systems.
Ensure this information is updated weekly to reflect staffing changes.
Keep the survey simple, asking only one primary question:
“What is your work location today?”
Provide the following options:
The survey should automatically collect the employee’s email address and should be able to map their response to their other specific roster information.
These reminder notifications will help to ensure maximum compliance with employee responses.
Develop an automated reporting system that generates a summary at the end of each day. Reports should include:
Visualize data using charts or dashboards for clear interpretation.
The above steps are general guidelines for the implementation of a successful federal daily check-in process. This has been proven over the years to accurately monitor occupancy at agencies such as the General Services Administration.
