In the case of an emergency, do you have a response plan that you can follow to make sure your team members will come out of it unharmed? Along with the right tools and guidance, an emergency response plan is a proactive tool that allows you to successfully minimize work-at-home risks and quickly respond to emergencies with employees working at home. With COVID-19 forcing many employees to work remotely, as an employer, you are responsible for the safety of your team while working at home. Developing an emergency response plan is an effective way to keep your people safe.
