We’ve been busy out in the field the past few weeks time, from tending to short notice client needs to conducting advance work for upcoming projects to presentations for clients and simply reconnecting with friends & colleagues while breaking bread together! Through it all, keeping up with administrative tasks and client inquiries is ever important and the work continues in remote capacities no matter the time, nor place.

Are you still thinking of visitor management and meeting planning as two separate things? You really shouldn't. When you plan a meeting you need to book a meeting room. This is obviously a meeting related activity. You also have to send invitations to external participants and register the arrival of your guests with the reception and security personnel. This is obviously a visitor management related activity. But something happens when you change your meeting room booking to a larger room, or move your meeting to a different time. Then you have to inform all external meeting participants of the changes, and you need to notify the front desk as well. So, in a sense, booking a meeting room becomes part of the visitor process.

During the pandemic, we adopted check-in calls to employees as a way of life —- to make sure they, their families were doing okay; post pandemic, it seems we have moved on from check-ins. But that is a mistake. Take the time to speak with employees outside of work assignments. Check-in with lunch, with a genuine smile, over a cup of coffee, with an encouraging email, or encouraging words on a post-it left on their computer screen, by saying hi and using their name, adopting an office recognition program, etc. There are a number of ways. Choose 1 or any number of options. Just do it — consistently.
