How GoFormz Users are Adapting to the Workplace Challenges of COVID-19 with Digital Forms

The COVID-19 pandemic has forced businesses to rethink the way they work – here’s how GoFormz users have leveraged digital forms to adapt

The COVID-19 pandemic feels as if it has put many aspects of life on pause. From weddings, concerts, and travel, to new business openings and educational experiences, countless opportunities have been earmarked for another time. This is all made further complicated by the fact that for many businesses, ‘pausing’ is simply not an option. Thus, to operate amidst a pandemic, many teams are completely changing the way they work and turning to digital forms to do so.

With digital forms and data capture, businesses can rapidly distribute and collect critical documents and information, without requiring in-person interaction, postage, or other manual form delivery chores (like record-keeping). These digital forms can even be used to facilitate new screening and cleaning procedures, to help keep workplace teams safe and proactive. Below we’ve outlined how some GoFormz users are leveraging digital data capture to adapt to the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Pre-screen workplace visitors with digital health screening forms

When working on construction job sites, in gyms, doctor’s offices, and more, there is often a revolving door of visitors and employees coming and going. So how can your business efficiently screen visitors for COVID-19 symptoms or exposure? GoFormz users are turning to digital health assessment forms to streamline screenings and rapidly permit visitors who show no symptoms or present no evidence of exposure. 

Digital health assessment forms can be easily generated on mobile devices or shared with visitors before their arrival. Using the Public Forms feature, links to digital health screenings can even be shared with individuals outside of your GoFormz account, for them to fill out and complete. Once a digital health assessment has been submitted, it is instantly available for review and can even be automatically routed to reception or security teams, so that they might grant access for the individual who completed the form.

Distribute and monitor workplace cleaning procedures with digital checklists

Digital COVID-19 cleaning checklists have also been deployed by GoFormz users, to distribute and closely monitor new cleaning procedures. These digital checklists can be easily accessed using the GoFormz mobile app or online from a computer, and are instantly available for review and processing once submitted. Using an Automated Workflow, completed checklists can be automatically routed to supervisors, janitorial staff, connected applications, and more. 

Capture information and Signatures from anyone with the Public Forms feature

With the Public Forms feature, links to your digital forms can be easily shared or posted online, for anyone to fill out and complete. This feature significantly simplifies collaboration with clients, partners, and other individuals outside of your GoFormz account, allowing them to input information and electronic Signatures, without needing to meet with your team in person. Not only does this encourage social distancing efforts, but also accelerates daily processes like billing, payroll, and more. 

Digital classroom communication and assignments

Digital forms can also be used to improve distance learning processes, like assignment distribution and collection, family communication, progress reports, and more. To show our appreciation for teachers and school administrators, we’ve created the GoFormz Educators Edition, a free online forms account just for teachers.
