Outing Aman di Masa Pandemi

Kegiatan luar ruang sangat direkomendasikan selama pandemi COVID-19. Outing atau outbound salah satunya. Tapi harus tetap beradaptasi dengan kenormalan baru dalam penyelenggaraannya.

Outing atau outbound merupakan bagian dari perjalanan insentif. Biasanya, kegiatan ini dilakukan di luar ruang, yang fokusnya pada praktik dan pengalaman. Berbagai permainan dalam kegiatan outing atau outbound pasti ada tujuan dan nilai yang ingin disampaikan.

Mengingat kasus COVID-19 yang sudah mulai melandai, sepertinya banyak korporat sudah mulai memikirkan mengadakan perjalanan insentif dengan outing bagi karyawannya. Walaupun aktivitas ini dilakukan di luar ruang, namun kegiatan harus tetap mematuhi protokol kesehatan dan beradaptasi dengan kenormalan baru.

Agar outing Anda berjalan aman, lakukan sejumlah langkah berikut:

1.        Pilih tempat yang tepat

Tempat untuk kegiatan outing yang tepat hari ini bukan sebatas luas, fasilitas, dan keindahan pemandangannya saja. Tapi pastikan tempat yang dipilih tersertifikasi CHSE, serta menyediakan fasilitas sesuai protokol kesehatan (prokes).

Pilih juga lokasi yang tidak terlalu jauh atau akses menuju lokasi bukan wilayah langganan macet. Terlalu lama di dalam kendaraan yang tertutup selain tidak disarankan di masa pandemi ini, juga bisa menimbulkan kebosanan peserta.

 

2.      Pilih permainan sesuai prokes

Biasanya, permainan saat outing melibatkan sentuhan fisik dan tidak mempertimbangkan jarak fisik. Nah, karena dalam situasi pandemi, sebaiknya pilih permainan yang bisa dilakukan tanpa bersentuhan fisik dan tetap menjalankan prokes menjaga jarak. Jangan lupa juga, mekanisme pengaturan mobilitas peserta agar tidak timbul kerumunan.

 

3.      Konsumsi

Sediakan konsumsi yang bisa dipastikan kebersihan dalam mengolahnya. Jika makanan disajikan secara prasmanan, sebaiknya sediakan petugas untuk mengambilkan makanan supaya peralatan tidak berganti-ganti tangan.

 

4.      Disiplin prokes

Tetap menggunakan masker selama kegiatan berlangsung, menjaga jarak, menghindari kerumunan, mencuci tangan, dan mengonsumsi makanan bergizi.

 

Kalau semua disiplin menjalankan prosedur sesuai protokol kesehatan, niscaya outing akan berlangsung aman dan menyenangkan.

Safe Outing during Pandemic

Outdoor activities are highly recommended during the COVID-19 pandemic.  Outing or outbound is one of them.  However, the activities should still adapt to the new normal regulation.

Outing or outbound is a part of the incentive trip.  Normally, these activities are carried out outdoors that are focused on practice and experience.  Various games in outing or outbound activities must have certain goals and values.

Given that the COVID-19 cases have begun to decrease, it seems that many corporations have started thinking about conducting incentive trips with outings for their employees.  Although this activity is outdoors, the activity must still comply with health protocols and adapt to the new normal situation.

To keep your outing activities safe, you can follow these steps:

1. Choose the right place

The right place for outing activities nowadays is not limited to the area, facilities, and the beauty of the scenery itself. Just make sure the chosen place is CHSE certified, and it should provide facilities that are in accordance with health protocols.

You can also choose a location that is not too far away, or the access to the area is not often congested.  Being stuck in a closed vehicle for too long is not good during this pandemic, and it will also make the participants to feel bored.

 

2. Play health-protocol-friendly games

Typically, outing games involve physical touch and do not put physical distance into consideration.  However, since we are in a pandemic, it is better to choose a game that can be done without physical contact and can maintain some distance as well.   Don't forget to map out the mobility mechanism of participants to avoid making crowds.

 

3. Food & Beverages

Prepare food and beverages that are guaranteed to be clean and safe to be consumed.  If it is in a form of a buffet, it is better to provide a staff who is specifically responsible to give the food from each serving container to the participants so that the utensils are not touched by a lot of people continuously.

 

4. Follow the Health Protocols Accordingly

Keep on wearing masks during activities, maintain some distance, avoid crowds, wash hands, and eat nutritious food.

If we always follow the health protocol accordingly, the outing will surely be safe and fun.
