Thank you Front-Line Healthcare Workers

Thank You to All the Front-Line Healthcare Workers from 365 iT SOLUTIONS

365 iT SOLUTIONS would like to thank all the front-line health care workers including doctors, nurses, support staff, and cleaning staff for their tireless work and effort during this COVID 19 coronavirus pandemic.

Let’s not forget the rest of the people working to ensure there is little disruption in our food supply, utilities, and security.

While many of us have the option stay home and use social distancing to protect ourselves from COVID 19 coronavirus, front-line health care workers do not have this option as they care for people with COVID 19 coronavirus as well as all other emergencies.

The COVID 19 coronavirus news is changing rapidly and creating new challenges daily.  Our front-line health care workers are the ones ensuring that the virus does not get out of control.

If you know of anyone in the medical field, thank them for their service and offer any assistance possible to ensure they can fight COVID 19 coronavirus for us.

Thank you everyone that is helping during the COVID 19 coronavirus pandemic.

365 iT SOLUTIONS Team!

We will get through this together!

Coronavirus COVID-19 Pandemic Preparedness for Business

Here is a Coronavirus COVID-19 Pandemic Preparedness for Business document to help all organizations play a critical role in protecting the health and safety of employees as well as the public.

All organizations need to create business continuity plans that will minimize impact as well as facilitate a speedy recovery of activities if the business has been forced to scale back or close during the Coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic.

Preparedness is the best way to mitigate the risks posed by a Coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic to your organization, public, family, and Canadian economy.

Should the Coronavirus COVID-19 Pandemic escalate in Canada, here are some of the things businesses need to plan for to ensure business continuity as well as preparedness.

  • You may experience absences due to personal illness and watching children.
  • Disruption to essential services like information, telecommunications, supply, and logistics.
  • A major increase or decrease in demand for products and services.
  • Cancellation or disruption of travel and cross-border movement of people and goods.
  • Cancellation of public meetings and events.
  • Increased public fear that causes citizens to avoid public places.

To help businesses prepare for and manage through a potential COVID-19 escalation in Canada, here is a brief guide designed to assist business planning and continuity efforts.

This will include relevant information as well as best practice tools and resources.

The information is out there, and organizations should take advantage of existing tools, templates, and best practices already developed for the Canadian landscape.
