In this segment, Joan Bishop provides insight into a social distancing experiment that involved 75 call center workers. The workers were placed in an environment that simulated a pandemic.
Some of the key aspects of the experiment included:
Workers had to modify behavior in terms of reducing physical interaction with other workers.
Workers were encouraged to increase hand washing, wiping door handles, and wiping keyboards.
The ability of the workers to continue performing their jobs was closely observed.
The experiment was valuable because the ability of an organization to move forward during a pandemic was documented.
