Coronavirus Statement

Coronavirus company policy

In this Coronavirus (COVID-19) company policy sample, you’ll find all the essential guidelines we follow during the service delivery and temporal alterations of the mode of work to accommodate for the prevention of the spread of the virus.

Policy brief & purpose

This company policy includes the measures we are actively taking to mitigate the spread of coronavirus. You are kindly requested to follow all these rules diligently, to sustain a healthy and safe workplace in this unique situation. It’s important that we all respond responsibly and transparently to these health precautions. We assure you that we will always treat your private health and personal data with high confidentiality and sensitivity.

This coronavirus (COVID-19) company guidelines are susceptible to changes with the introduction of additional governmental guidelines. If so, we will update this writ as soon as possible.

Scope

These coronavirus guidelines apply to all of our employees who physically work in with our clients, directly or in their spaces. We strongly recommend to our support working personnel and clients to read through these guidelines as well, to ensure we collectively and uniformly respond to this challenge.

Guideline Elements

Here, we outline the required actions employees should take to protect themselves and their co-workers from a potential coronavirus infection.

Wash your hands after using the toilet, before eating, and if you cough/sneeze into your hands (follow the 20-second hand-washing rule). You can also use the sanitizers you’ll find around the office.
Cough/sneeze into your sleeve, preferably into your elbow. If you use a tissue, discard it properly and clean/sanitize your hands immediately.
Open the windows regularly to ensure open ventilation.
Avoid touching your face, particularly your eyes, nose, and mouth with your hands to prevent it from getting infected.
If you find yourself coughing/sneezing on a regular basis, avoid close physical contact with your coworkers and take extra precautionary measures (such as requesting sick leave).
If you are travelling from a high-risk country with increased COVID-19 cases, we’ll ask you to work to inform us of this so that more caution can be taken.

Traveling/commuting measures:

All work trips and events – both domestic and international – will be postponed/cancelled until further notice or such a time when it absolutely necessary.
In-person meetings should be done virtually where possible, especially with non-company parties (e.g. candidate interviews and partners).
If you normally commute to the office by public transportation and do not have other alternatives, you can request to work from home as a precaution.
If you are planning to travel voluntarily to a high-risk country with increased COVID-19 cases, we’ll ask you to work from home for 14 calendar days. You will also be asked not to come into physical contact with any colleagues during this time.
