Coronavirus: what contingency plans are you putting in place?

We've had a discussion thread already touching on the Coronavirus (COVID-19), but things have moved on a bit and we'd like to ask members to use this space to share initiatives and plans around managing the coronavirus threat in your organisation.

Please refer to the CIPD factsheet for current guidance and also the latest information on the GOV.uk website.

The CIPD has been asked to speak on national news channels* about what businesses can be doing to manage issues affecting employees, such as flexible working, A+B teams coming into work, school closures, business travel etc.

*If you are happy to speak to the media, who are looking for real examples of businesses taking action, please let us know as we do sometimes get asked to recommend companies who could be featured. To reassure you, this is a closed thread and no-one can see it except CIPD staff and CIPD members.

We’re well placed to help if you have any questions... and we’re interested to hear what actions you’re taking in your own organisations.

Please share below. Thanks.

Has anyone put anything in place for staff who live with someone who is at higher risk? Are you allowing them to work from home to avoid carrying infection into the home?

We have a couple of people who may be at higher risk because of health conditions. I have spoken to them individually to ask if they have been advised to take additional precautions. Both have been told to carry on as normal. I have said to them that if the medical advice changes or if they feel particularly concerned themselves (even without medical advice) then we will make alternative arrangements for them to work from home, or minimise contact with others etc.
