On 11 March 2020 the World Health Organisation (WHO) declared the outbreak of COVID-19 a pandemic. As the virus continues to spread, businesses around the globe are preparing for a potentially escalating series of events.
Boards and senior management teams play a critical role in supporting businesses to plan and allocate resources, including making decisions about how and when to enact business continuity plans, and the development of additional existing and new plans for crisis management, and in some cases pandemic management plans. Given the duration and extent of COVID-19 is unknown, Boards and senior management teams will require specialised COVID-19 Board Level Advice to appropriately manage the health and safety risks presented by the current health crisis. GCG has a wide-range of experience in advising boards and senior management teams in both the private and public sectors, and can provide high level support on how to effectively lead organisations through COVID-19. GCG can provide specialised Board Level Advice around how to:- Plan and manage the health and safety risks presented by COVID-19 over the coming months
- Put in place a prevention strategy for COVID-19

- Make sure that your clients have assurance that your organisation can safely navigate the prevention, and if the worst happens, the management of a COVID-19 case in your workplace
