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

  • Hi, we have tried to keep things simole. regularly visiting the gov and acas website to update the employees wherever necessary. Issuing hand sanitizers, wipes, disinfectant sprays to each department and putting posters of handwashing procedures as per NHS guidelines etc Regular memo have been circulated, mass gatherings for tool box talks have been cancelled. Meetings are scheduled through video calls etc. Avoid travelling as much as possible. Getting ready for work from home procedures. At the moment ordering laptops n phones....preparing managers how to handle such situations. Being construction company, it is not possible for all of our employees to work from home, so we have to plan properly how to handle this crisis. this is our next week's target. By all means we are regularly visiting the goverment legislation and reading the factsheets from CIPD.
