Rubbermaid Commercial Products (RCP) has launched Changing Workplaces, a research program to investigate the complex changes the COVID-19 pandemic has spurred in workplaces and facilities across Europe. 

The survey asks businesses how their facility has evolved its approach to hand hygiene, cleaning waste, and recycling since the end of 2019, before the pandemic hit. It poses questions including what changes are here to stay, how have facility users' demands changed and where do organizations need to raise the bar around cleaning and hygiene in a post-COVID-19 world?

Open to respondents across Europe, the survey is relevant to all workplaces and facilities management and health and safety professionals, along with anyone whose role covers cleaning, hygiene, waste management, and recycling - in any sector.

RCP says it will analyze the survey results and create a report to provide insights so organizations can benchmark against their sector and benefit from transparent sector-to-sector information sharing to prepare for the future. The results will also shape the advice, education, and training provision the company provides.
