"Recommendations for a Healthy Office"
OfficeKey has come up with several best practices for meetings that will help protect the health of everyone using our spaces during this unique time:
- Use a larger than necessary room – Take advantage of using a larger room so that your group has space to spread out and maintain a level of social
distancing to promote a healthy office environment. - Limit the number of attendees – The President has suggested limiting groups to 10 or less. While it is not yet mandated and we don’t plan to police that, we recommend that larger groups are avoided as much as possible.
- Clean up after yourself – Dispose of coffee cups and water bottles, if chairs or tables are moved put them back to how you found them. This will help us be efficient in keeping the environment sanitized.
- No extra guests – Now more than ever we need guests to not bring anyone else with them. Typically they could wait in our building lobbies but for now it is best that they remain in the car or better yet at home.
- Web conferencing – We have a GoToMeeting account that is available to all clients. You can reserve the number under the “Conferencing” tab of the reservation system.
Please email the staff at staff@officekey.com if you have any questions. We will continue to be in touch with further updates as this situation evolves.

OfficeKey is very excited to partner with Adopt-A-Class again this year. This will be our third year working with the kindergarten students at Miss May’s class at South Avondale Elementary. Our first visit was in October. We did a “watch me grow” activity. We planted seeds and measured the height of each student so that we can follow their progress over the course of the school year. And since it was Halloween we had to spoil them with a little bit of candy as well! We have some exciting things planned for this year and really enjoy the opportunity to spend some time with these great kids and their teachers.

In September of 1984 OfficeKey (named HQ at the time) began serving Cincinnati based businesses. The concept of sharing office space was relatively new at the time and of course the function of an office has very much evolved since then. However over the years our organization has stayed true to the fact that we are not simply selling office space but place the highest priority on providing a best in class service. 
In the early years that service included a heavy workload of administrative work, primarily made up of answering phones and word processing. At one point in the 80’s it required a team of 17 people in one location to manage these tasks. For comparison, now we have 2 people per location (the industry standard is 1 to 1.5!). And while we still provide those traditional admin services, technologies such as cell phones and email, things that we take for granted today, have completely changed the dynamic of how we assist our clients.
