2nd Free IHRM Webinar

Organizations world over have responded to the COVID-19 pandemic, in a variety of ways, from restricting travel for nonessential employee, provision for teleworking to cancelling large events. The possibility of a pandemic has the potential to disrupt workforces, supply chains and world economies for months during and after the pandemic is gone. It is therefore, critical for any organization to review and update their business continuity plan to ensure their operational resilience.

A healthy and available workforce is any organization’s most valuable asset. A pandemic will incapacitate some employees and result in other employees being quarantined. This could result in a major disruption of normal operations, with potentially large numbers of employees working from home or remote locations.

How do you as a HR professional;

    1. Establish a strategy that enables employees to continue working without endangering them?
    2. Have a plan to isolate employees should the threat of possible infection arise?
    3. Ensure employees can effectively work from home?
    4.   Ensure you have the tools, technology, capacity, and security measures in place to support a large remote workforce?
    5.   Review your HR policies to ensure employees will not be personally impacted if they must be quarantined for an extended period and modify any policies as appropriate to give greater flexibility to normal working arrangements?
    6.  Determine your priorities and the minimum staffing requirements to support these priorities?
    7.  Identify key employees and ensure other staff members have received appropriate training to    comprehensively cover their absence?
     8.  Create a communications plan that includes providing employees and other stakeholders with regular situation updates as well as actions taken?
