Coronavirus: what contingency plans are you putting in place?

Steve Bridger

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.

UPDATE: 10th March 2020

  • I'd be keen to hear from those whose businesses have regular visitors to site and what are company's doing in terms of protocol on visitors particularly if from overseas?

    Hi Julia,

    We have a questionnaire which we are sending out to visitors before they come on site which basically asks if they've been to any of the most impacted areas or if they've received visitors/been in contact with anyone who has in the last 14 days. If they say yes then we are postponing their visit or asking for someone else to be sent (i.e if it was a training company).

    For those unexpected visitors (i.e recruitment agencies who like to turn up out of the blue), we've put a politely worded notice up at the doors to each building asking them to refer to the questions on the questionnaire before requesting entry to the site. If they answer yes to them, then the notice asks them to not request entry and that if they need to contact us they can do so by telephone in order to ensure the health, safety and well being of our employees.

    @Gemma - I was just about to do a post about this and a visitors to site questionnaire. Would you mind at all sharing?
