16 Mar Business as Usual – Coronavirus
As the Novel coronavirus (COVID-19) starts making its way throughout Australia we’d like to assure our valued clients and business partners that we are prepared for the impact this is having, and will continue to have, on Australian businesses.
We are still open for business and are here to support you and your business requirements through this challenging time.
Out of office
There may come a time when we close our office and our team work remotely. If this happens, our social media accounts are a handy resource for notifications and keeping up to date with us.
You can follow us here:
Our team is set-up to work fully remotely. We are completely digital, operating through phone, email and skype as needed.
Meetings
We’ve asked our team to restrict all non-essential contact with other team members and clients. Their health and wellbeing, and their families, is paramount to us.
Where a meeting is unavoidable, we’ve asked our team to refrain from handshakes, hugs, kisses on the cheek etc. – so far we’ve experienced people doing an elbow bump, foot tap or just a cordial nod of the head instead.
All of which are welcomed and have the added advantage of breaking the ice :)
