Since the World Health Organization (WHO) declared COVID-19 a pandemic on March
11, 2020, there have been many ups and downs in the business world. Since then, COVID-19 has
had a significant impact on many industries as countries implemented lockdowns in early March.
This is the first-time scenario that I can’t ever imagine that will be happening in my entire life. I
am working in a private company, that mainly deals with manufacturing of feeds for commercial
sale and to our paiwi system. Since are company mainly focus on agriculture, the main problem
we encountered is the movement of the subordinates, we the people of the company. At first, we
can’t barely feel how was COVID 19 looks like. But as months and months have passed, and the
government-imposed restrictions in mobility and threat of contracting the virus – it has become
hard for us to do our main task. Our company has been affected by the COVID 19 by the
following scenarios: we need to work under skeletal system. We worked three times in a week
with no pay no work policy unless we use our sick or vacation leave. We need to educate
everyone regarding the COVID 19 since not everyone believes in this matter. Some of our
employees got contacted the COVID 19 and have to rest for two weeks that cause panic in our
company. But fortunately, overall performance of our company was not affected. As a matter of
fact, our sales our getting higher and higher. Maybe because our products are one of the basic
needs in agriculture.
From unprecedented scenario happened, our company is generous and caring to our
people. Strategies have been implemented by our top management in terms of the following: (a).
workforce or personnel. Since we can’t take our works at home due to confidentiality and we
worked under skeletal system—our company offers free ride to company going back to home.
So, with this we can avoid contacting to many people and at the same time save transportation
fee. Aside from that our company give us hazardous pay and monthly groceries, vitamins and
face masks. (b). business operations. We still operate five days in a week but only having
minimum employees assigned by those certain days. Face masks and social distancing are still
observed. (c). products and services offered. We supply are feeds to commercial market and
mostly to our paiwi having thousands and thousands of hogs. Since we are in the city rich in
agriculture, manufacturing of feeds are basics needs for many farms that we supply. Overall, our
business industry makes a boom during this pandemic that’s why we are able to give all the
needs of our employees during those hard times in exchange of their sacrifices and efforts for the
company.
If I will be the owner of the company, our recovery plan will perhaps “BE STILL”.
Though this pandemic became not hard for us unlike what other does. We extend also our help to
other people who are in those trying times. Social distancing is a must so skeletal operation is
mainly observed every week for the work schedule. Facemasks, temperature check and alcohol
are highly important in or outside the company premises. Always giving enlighten to our
employees that there is so called COVID 19. Encouraging them to undergone vaccine.
Biosecurity is also observed. It is important in our business, since we met different people from
different places. I believe that there is no recovery plan happened in our company. Since the
pandemic, our company became equipped from what’s going on around us. It always doing our
best everyday as we can amidst the situation without sacrificing health. Caring first for our
people is also caring first for our company. Working in this kind of environment is such an
honored. If I will be the owner of this company, I owe everything from my predecessor.
