Keeping communications open with your employees at all times helps alleviate unfounded fears and help instil confidence in them that they are being protected.
To enable timely two-way communication and employee tracking and to disseminate critical information, you must validate that emergency notification systems are in place and tested on a routine basis. Some employees may struggle with making a mental separation between work and home life. Others may not have the skills to be successful in an extended remote environment.
If your company is deemed as offering “essential services” as mandated by the government, you must address the safety of your employees and assess if they are available to perform critical functions.
