WHAT ARE THE KEY FACTORS TO CONSIDER
WHEN OPERATING IN THE NEW NORM
The pandemic continues to develop rapidly, with notable changes occurring in countries across the globe weekly. We have witnessed a resurgence in cases where lockdowns have eased, and various new governmental strategies implemented as countries prepare for a new peak in case activity. But what impact may this have for your organisation and your operational response?
As organisations with a global footprint begin to increase activity across markets, it is clear that no “one policy fits all” approach can be taken when resuming operations. Local lockdowns, individual country restrictions and legislation will significantly impact how organisations prepare to enter the “next normal”.
Uncertainty has become a key pillar in this "next normal" and it is essential that your policies are flexible to manage the developments that the COVID-19 pandemic will have on your operations. While it's challenging to bring the risk of infection down to zero, there are vital precautionary steps you can take to minimise that risk, fulfill your Duty of Care responsibilities and promote workforce resilience.
Access to reliable and accurate information is an essential part of making informed decisions. The right information can help you answer questions such as 'How do you maintain a safe working space?', 'What is the situation in other countries?' and 'How do I reassure my staff and keep them safe?'
