Impact and Risk Response Guide

Business is having to learn fast how to cope with Coronavirus (COVID-19). Simple precautions and planning can make a big difference.

While the exact scale of the impact of the outbreak remains uncertain, action now will help to continue to protect your employees and your business.

Read our Coronavirus Impact and Risk Response Guide that aims to provide insights into some relevant impacts of COVID-19.

However, the existing pandemic has made this fall back situation no longer viable. Rapid mobilisation of remote working and support for staff at home has been the new requirement.
