As we have seen in 2020, It is true that organizations are facing an increase need for managers, as risks organization increase. There are many problems and risks that effect many businesses and companies in different ways. Obviously there has been risks for a long time but are slowly changing. One new risk business is facing now would be Coronavirus pandemic. Businesses need to try and work on making their businesses or companies have healthy conditions and a safe workplace. Companies have an issue of putting their employees and clients at risk for getting Coronavirus. Protecting their employees will have an effect on their reputation. A company that doesn’t pay attention to the virus can seriously be impacted on their reputation and not wanted to take a part of. Giving employees and providing them with safe practices can and will help them understand how the virus can really affect and impact the people as a whole and the workplace. Seeing the way, the Corona virus impacted many businesses, Executives need to help manage all these issues coming from the virus. This is very important step for businesses and companies must take to be successful during this pandemic.
There are many ways that organizations can prevent these risks from coming into fruition. One way these companies can prevent these risks would be cleaning and making sure they are safe should be the main goal. There are definitely way more than a dozen people going around and touching lots of things in businesses and companies, Businesses should make cleaning their number 1 priority to try and keep everyone safe. Cleaning from when they open to when they close should be the goal. Like how many businesses today are making sure that everyone who enters the business or store should be wearing masks to not only keep themselves safe but everyone around them is another way that organizations can prevent risks. Checking the customers temperature whether it is from the forehead or the wrist whenever they come in can also be a way to prevent risk. This has to be taken very seriously alongside make a strong statement in the work environment, so every employee knows where the business is and has to be towards this pandemic.
This virus is very serious, and people don’t take it as serious as it should be taken, yes there may be a lot of mixed opinions but one thing everyone should acknowledge is that this is very serious, and businesses must take precautions to keep everyone safe. I have honestly always tried and be as safe as possible whenever I can when I go out or go to places, following the protocols is very important. These new threats will affect a lot of workers decisions. As for me personally going into work and asked to do something has always been my priority. Personally, I can deal with anything they ask me to do, and I will get it done. If I personally don’t feel safe or well, I would just simply reach out to the organization and let them know that I don’t feel safe or I feel bad in some sort of way, I would do this in order to prevent anything more than what it is. Talking and helping other people may not be as easy as how it was before. This is because we don’t really know where people have been or what they have been doing outside the workplace. Obviously, we have to be safe so that is complicated but with all safety precautions taken we can make it much easier and safer. At the end, no one really has control over what happens around their surroundings. By taking these precautions you are doing everything possible to bring safety to your own health and everyone around you.
Hi Richard.
It’s amazing how some jobs like those of maintenance staff have become essential employee positions. The said part is that despite the fact that we need people like them to continue to work and in many cases are putting in longer working hours while exposing themselves and their families to illness and potentially death, they are not receiving any additional compensation. At present, it is up to employers to decide who can receive hazard pay and politicians keep saying that certain essential workers should get hazard pay but they haven’t been able to agree who that would include or actually put any type of legislation into place that would make hazard pay for essential workers mandatory.
