Now that the workforce is returning to the office after the COVID-19 pandemic, it's important that you start preparing now. Here's how to get ready and nurture your team back into the workplace. 

Introduce a Staff Status Check

You need an online dashboard to keep track of your employees and monitor their COVID-19 status.  A dashboard allows you to: 

• Ensure that every department has the cover it needs to operate
• Identify any COVID-19 infections and undertake contact tracing
• Monitor vulnerable employees who may still be working remotely 

Our dashboard gives you the tools you need to monitor employee health and anticipate potential staffing problems before they arise. 

Focus on Business Continuity 

Business continuity should be a top priority. Why? Because if there’s a second wave of COVID-19 infections, you must be prepared to cope with the inevitable disruption. Once you’ve got your dashboard up and running, start thinking about:

• Remote working options
• Supply chain management
• Temporary staff cover and employee support

Upgrade Your Insurance

Now is the time to make sure you have appropriate insurance in place to cover all business eventualities. Our team can guide you through the various insurance and benefits packages available to cover your unique situation. Contact us now to find out more.

• Know which rules apply to your business
• Understand any insurance implications
