As we navigate this unprecedented situation, one that is changing by the hour, we are doing our very best to act as quickly as possible, while ensuring the well-being of our members and staff is at the heart of each decision we make.
We have always known that our community is special. Now, more than ever, we trust that our members will do the right thing for themselves and for our community. That’s why we feel confident keeping our doors open, to this group only, unstaffed. We know that each of you will stay home when sick, will maintain strict hygiene standards when using Workbar spaces, and will follow the guidance set forth by the CDC, WHO and the State of Massachusetts.
The Workbar team is working diligently to keep our Workbar locations across Greater Boston open as a place for the hundreds of businesses that still need a space to work. We believe that providing a safe, clean place to work is vital for the future health of many businesses, especially right now. Over the past few days, we’ve received feedback from members expressing their preference that we remain open so they can continue to utilize the space as needed. That is what we plan to do for as long as we feel that it is safe to do so.
We will be monitoring usage of the space frequently to ensure adherence to the guidance set forth by the CDC and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
You can find our comprehensive list of modified policies (including the ability to work from any Workbar without restriction and removal of physical tours of our space) as well as a comprehensive list of precautions (removal of chairs within the space and encouraging social distancing) detailed in this post on our website.
Finally, as this is a complicated situation, these plans might change, and if so, we’ll let you know. As we update or make changes to our policies, procedures or approach, we will continue to update this post and notify you accordingly.
Thank you,
Sarah Travers
Workbar CEO
