With COVID-19 on the rise all over the world, businesses need to take appropriate steps to protect both their employees and their customers and other stakeholders from the spread of the virus – including having a face mask policy at work as well as guidelines and requirements about other safety protocols using other protective equipment.

Why vaccine communication strategy is crucial for business today and how to develop and bring it to life.

The 2019-Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) has been declared a global emergency by the World Health Organization. Now in its second year, there have been more than 183 million confirmed cases and the pandemic is responsible for almost four million deaths around the world (as of the beginning of July 2021).

As some parts of the world emerge from COVID-19, many businesses are re-evaluating the ways their workplaces are structured including how, when and where their employees work.

As COVID-19 vaccinations are increasingly available worldwide, many employers wonder if they can insist upon or encourage their employees to get vaccinated to protect themselves, their colleagues, their clients and help get the workplace to return to something approaching normal. Creating a COVID vaccination policy can help you and your employees to navigate this issue together.

As COVID-19 restrictions have changed in some parts of the world, some employees who have been working from home during lockdowns are starting to return to the workplace.

With COVID-19 case numbers soaring worldwide, it stands to reason that you can expect members of your workforce to test positive at some point. A positive case can affect your workplace - your other employees and customers could be at risk, and depending on the work you do, you may have to close to clean your facilities. 

An unfortunate aspect of modern life is the amount of stress people seem to be increasingly under, with workplace stress accounting for a lot of this.

Like almost every aspect of corporate life, Human Resources has been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic presenting challenges for HR professionals to overcome in their workplaces.

Having consistent onboarding processes in place has never been more important than it is right now to ensure that your new employees can be equipped to do their jobs and ensure your team performs well.
