COVID-19 is, first and foremost, a global

humanitarian challenge.
Thousands of health professionals are heroically battling the virus, putting
their own lives at risk. Governments and industry are working together to
understand and address the challenge, support victims and their families and
communities, and search for treatments and a vaccine.
Companies around the world need to act promptly.

This document is meant to help senior leaders understand the COVID-19
situation and how it may unfold, and take steps to protect their employees,
customers, supply chains, and financial results.

What business leaders should look for in coming weeks

There are three questions business leaders are asking, and a small number of indicators that can give clues
Depth of disruption Length of disruption Shape of recovery

How deep are the demand reductions? How long could the disruption last? What shape could recovery take?
• Time to implement social distancing after • Rate of change of cases • Effective integration of public health measures
community transmission confirmed • Evidence of virus seasonality with economic activity (e.g. rapid testing as
Epidemiological
• Number of cases – absolute (expect surge as pre-requisite for flying)

• Test count per million people

• % of cases treated at home over time (e.g. mutation, reinfection)
• Geographic distribution of cases relative to
economic contribution • % utilization of hospital beds (overstretched
system recovers slower)
Indicators
• Availability of therapies
• Case fatality ratio vs. other countries
• Cuts in spending on durable goods (e.g., cars, • Late payments/credit defaults • Bounce-back in economic activity in countries
appliances) that were exposed early in pandemic

On-site employee safety—Manufacturing example (1/2)

Manufacturing workforce safety can be increased by creating operating pods, but design considerations apply
Design considerations General guidance on how to apply
to building a pod levers Example actions
Who to group into pods Define the minimum size group to achieve • Remove any floating workers from potential pods
desired production levels and minimize
• Group pods vertically along production line and break inter line (workers working on multiple lines) and beginning/end of line
contact between employees and product
transfer points (line employee picks up raw materials instead of a rover dropping off material)
What job is done Reclassify jobs/roles to improve ability to • Reclassify jobs (can be temporary) vertically along production line so one worker does multiple jobs on same production line
form pods and decrease inter-pod contact versus horizontally across multiple lines (line may need to slow)
• Remove or adjust unnecessary line contact (quality checks done by line employees versus central quality)
How the pod works Add additional safeguards within the pod • Ensure job tasks within pod protect the pod from itself, including additional PPE and separation throughout the shift (tasks can
together to further limit exposure be adjusted to ensure 6 ft. separation)
• Institute increased sanitation of pod and workplace (hand washing, deep cleaning after shift, etc…)
• Stagger break and lunch times/locations
When the pod performs Change shift time and structure to limit • Adjust start/end times to avoid inter-pod contact for pods working at same time, if site has only day shifts for multiple lines –
work exposure consider going to 24 hrs operation to limit lines on site at a time
• Adjust weekly schedule including going to 12-hr shifts and 2 week on/off to minimize the number of people on site over a
day/week
Where the pod Move the location of work to create social • Modify non-work arrangements to minimize exposure including where pod is housed and how they get to work (critical
performs work separation between pods operations such as power plants and refineries are considering housing employees on site)
• Restrict access between pods, ideally with social barriers (card access, temporary walls)
• Move production lines to ensure adequate separation and consider temporary options (tents)
• Close public spaces (cafeterias, gyms) and find alternate locations for workers to eat and move around
Plan for pod event Develop response scenarios for likely • Practice and train on likely scenarios (immediate and long-term response)
events such as a pod test positive
• Define production flexibility and back-up options if line goes down
• Define backup pod staffing (refresh skills matrix to see who could cover, consider keeping backup pod available in case of event)
Note: Certain actions must be implemented together to ensure mitigation of risk

Return
Return: Companies must prepare

Look for some of the following…
Sustained decline in the number of cases in your area without rebound
Decline in cases No community transmission/very low levels in your area
Relaxation of shelter-in-place/quarantine orders

Health response ready Testing widely available with fast turnaround
Availability of antibody testing—available workforce who have immunity

Herd immunity (will take time) Availability of an effective vaccine (Spring 2021 soonest)
Then start thinking about…

Controlled access to all job locations: mandatory temperature checks, hand-washing
Protect employees Targeted measures based on job function and “risk profile” instead of blanket shutdown
Invest in a “safe environment”: pre-flight tests of passengers and crew for airlines, in-store
Reassure customers sanitizers for retail, transparent safety record e.g. “X days since last infection”
Diversify supply chain and critical vendors to different geographic locations

Restore supply chain Explore contractual features like take-or-pay to pool risk while rebuilding demand
Consider the effects of business interruption or work-from-home—what business practices

Reinstate or revise? should be reinstated, revised, or even removed?
