Health and Safety Takes on a New Meaning with COVID-19

The Treasure Valley technology company will bring its operations under one roof at 1420 E Bird Dog Drive, where site work is now underway

MERIDIAN, Idaho — June 24, 2026 — Allied Business Solutions, a leading managed technology services provider in the Treasure Valley, has announced plans for a new headquarters at 1420 E Bird Dog Drive in Meridian, Idaho. The site sits next to Vertical View Climbing Gym along Interstate 84, between Locust Grove and Overland Road. A construction sign now marks the lot as site preparation gets underway.

The new building will bring Allied's warehouse, distribution center, and company departments together under one roof. It is designed around the parts of the business Allied is investing in most: its managed IT and security services, its growing AI and automation work, and the national distribution of printers, copiers, and multifunction devices through its network of manufacturer partners.

"This building represents everything we have worked toward since day one. We started this company in Boise because we believed in this community, and this community has believed in us. Seeing that sign go up on our new lot is one of the proudest moments in Allied's history."

— Tom Beeles, President and Founder, Allied Business Solutions

Today, as the COVID-19 pandemic begins to wind down, health and safety are more important than ever. At first, we panicked as businesses were forced to shut down, workers were forced to go home, and the livelihoods of millions of us were on the line. Productivity was harder to achieve than ever, and today, as we slowly leave the “panic zone” and enter the “learning zone,” businesses are slowly beginning to reopen.

As offices reopen, basic steps like reporting unsafe conditions, moving around during the day, using a headset when making and receiving calls, and inspecting electrical cords and fire alarms are still all-important steps for ensuring a healthy work environment.

However, as we emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic, businesses will need to adopt new health and safety measures into their plans to keep employees and customers safe.

Here are some tips to keep your workplace safe from COVID-19:

  • Screen Employees – Regularly screen your employees for symptoms, do temperature checks, and if possible offer regular testing.
  • Keep the Office Clean – Ensure all high-touch areas and surfaces are cleaned regularly.
  • Implement Social Distancing – Create greater distance between workers, and desks, keeping a 6-foot distance whenever possible.
  • Reduce Elevator Capacities – Avoid crowding stairwells, and other tight spaces too.
  • Reinforce Personal Hygiene – Give employees the opportunity to keep their hands clean. For example, provide soap and water or hand sanitizer.
  • PPE – Ensure workers are using any personal protective equipment appropriately.
  • Meetings and Office Gatherings – Hold meetings and gatherings in outdoor spaces whenever possible.
  • Remind Workers to Stay Home if They Feel Sick!

March 2020 was over a year ago and since then so much has changed. Could you believe that this is where we’d be when we first went home over a year ago? We added new terms to our vocabulary like contact tracing and social distancing. Like brushing our teeth and putting on shoes, masking up, and hand sanitizing have become daily habits.

The safety measures listed above are just a few ways you can ensure the health and safety of your workplace for both employees and customers. To stay current, refer to the Centers for Disease Control website for the latest recommendations, workplace guidelines, and strategies.
