How to effectively mitigate the impact of COVID-19 on our business?

The Croatian government together with other countries is adopting unprecedented measures to prevent further spread of the new coronavirus and collapse of the healthcare system. This naturally entails various restrictions that have a significant impact not just on our daily lives, but also on the operations of most organisations and businesses. An increasing number of employees stay at home due to quarantine or taking care of their kids whose schools have shut down. The situation gets even more complicated because it is not yet clear how long the measures will last or how extensive they will be. Unfortunately, the only thing that is clear is that as a result of global economic ties, the impacts of the crisis will be felt by many companies.

Regardless of how the situation develops, action steps have to be taken now to help mitigate the impact of COVID-19 on your company and prepare it for further crisis developments.
