PREPARING FOR THE
RETURN TO THE OFFICE
What employees really want to see in their
working environment
Although working in an o ice might seem like a
distant memory, hope is on the horizon with a return
to o ice life predicted for the not-so-distant future.
As businesses gear up for this, BRITA VIVREAU is
on hand to help make that transition easier with the
launch of its two new products, the Top & Extra water
dispenser systems.
Research reveals that:
81% of o ice workers say they’re more
concerned about o ice hygiene than ever before
Over a third (35%) of o ice workers say shared
facilities with built in hygiene measures are of
utmost importance

So, for facilities managers, having communal
amenities in place – like water dispensers and co ee
machines – which ensure the highest hygiene levels
possible, will help to reassure employees as they get
used to being back in the o ice.
Hot on Hygiene
To provide a solution for workplaces to address these
challenges, BRITA VIVREAU has launched the Top &
Extra systems which have been developed with the
leading water filtration expert’s unique HygienePlus
and ThermalGate™ technology.
The ThermalGate™ technology:
Automatically thermally disinfects the outlet tap
at regular intervals to protect against retrograde
contamination from external sources
Is always on duty, even during inactive phases
such as overnight or weekends, so no manual
e ort or chemical additives are required
The optional HygienePlus solution also o ers a
three-zone protection system including a prefilter
stage which:
Removes 99.99% of all bacteria
E ectively reduces heavy metals and chlorine
Leaves you with cleaner, clearer, great-tasting
water
Take a stance on sustainability
Recent research conducted by BRITA VIVREAU found
that:
82% of o ice workers said sustainability is more
important to them now than ever
Almost half (49%) want to see their workplace
banning single-use plastics .
With this in mind, the Top & Extra systems help to
reduce workplaces’ carbon footprint by encouraging
the use of reusable bottles. Not only this, it also
doesn’t require any storage space and you will have
lower energy consumption from eliminating the need
to refrigerate water.
High-quality hydration
Healthy hydration is so important to the overall
health and wellness of employees. The BRITA filter
used in the Top & Extra systems guarantee
great tasting and safe water using your building’s
mains-fed supply. The advanced filtration removes
undesired odours and particles, such as chlorine or
organic impurities, and there are also four di erent
water types available: ambient, chilled still and two
sparkling water varieties.
With almost half (49%) of employees believing
water dispensers are a hygiene hotspot which
require extra protection, FMs need to ensure that
shared amenities not only meet social distancing
rules but also heightened hygiene regulations to
put employees’ minds at ease when making the
transition back to the o ice.
