Rapidly changing realities means that you have a lot on your plate and may not have the time or resources to adapt your processes. We’re here to help. Adecco is taking the lead and working with organizations like yours to implement a screener-model that is focused on defined protocols to increase workforce safety measures and ensure business continuity.

What does a Screener do?

Before your employees begin their shift, a Screener assesses their health and potential risk, and, advises on hygiene protocols. For an in-depth description please refer to our FAQ.

The benefits of a screener-model

With rapidly evolving infection rates, Screeners offer your workforce a certain level of peace of mind. Your workforce will feel more confident and secure coming to work — increasing employee retention and decreasing the risk of a potential outbreak.

Q: What exactly does a Screener do?

A: Screeners set up at the entrance and ensure each employee completes a health questionnaire at the time of arrival. Then, they proceed to take each employee’s temperature 15 minutes after arrival indoors (for climatization purposes) and advise as to what the hygiene protocols are before they start their shift. As well, Screeners will follow corporate protocol to advise the employee to exit the facility and let them know where to exit in the case that an employee is presenting symptoms or is considered high risk.
