Responding to COVID-19

The promise of 2021 and a COVID -19 vaccine

In 2020 the COVID-19 pandemic forced every global citizen and business to radically change their ways of working and living. And while physically separated, technology has connected us and enabled us to carry on living and to still be able to see a doctor, check in on our families, work, shop and even educate our children.

Now in 2021, while the initial crisis appears to have passed in some regions, many countries are being hit by a second wave. Even with the roll-out of a vaccine, we need to accept that we’ll be living and working alongside this virus for some time to come.

Supporting our people, clients and communities

It’s our top priority to protect our people and their families from infection while continuing to serve our clients and society. We also recognize that the situation in each country is unique. As we step through this process, we’ll be guided by four principles:

At all times, we align to country and regional specific government guidance.
We recognize the need to consider each of our different circumstances and ability to return to the office.
For those returning to the office, we’ll take all precautions necessary.
We’ll constantly review the situation and be ready to change the way we work as required.

One thing is for certain, we’re all facing the same challenges and opportunities and we’re here to assist our clients in any way we can. The time is now, as technology is enabling business to manage the new hybrid workforce, build new revenue channels and achieve much needed cost savings. Furthermore, through combining data insights, you’ll be able to make better and faster decisions that strengthen your connection to your customers.
