• As offices start to reopen, experts say that among the measures employers should take is installing transparent desk shields as protective barriers in the workplace.
• Office furniture and supply firm Poppin offers clear, acrylic dividers priced between $229 and $389 in various sizes that you can simply place atop the desk.
• Such shields will likely become a mainstay in this new era of office culture as distancing measures become a top priority.

As employers gear up to welcome returning employees back to the office, they'll need quick solutions to implement distancing measures.

Doling out thousands of dollars in capital to retrofit the workplace with wholesale changes is not the right move right now. Experts say employers instead should establish one-way hallways, sanitation stations, and set up desk dividers to cut down contact amongst employees.

Here's how the clear shields sold by office supply firm Poppin could change the workplace.
