Explanation:
1. How close are employees to virus hot spots?
The first thing to understand is how close your employees are to known virus hot spots. Once you have this information, you can plan how to respond should a work facility and the people within it be placed within a quarantine zone.
You cannot make plans for every facility simultaneously, particularly if your organization has a global presence, so by identifying those locations with the highest risk and business impact, you can build a prioritized list of locations to work through.
In Hubei, China (the epicenter of the outbreak), business production completely halted. Where do you have sites that could be subject to quarantine? How many employees and what work do they do that might be stopped should quarantine conditions be required?
By tracking the daily spread of the virus, you can then determine which locations or facilities will need to be the focus of extra communication or specific responses. If you plan for those facilities with the highest risk first, you maximize your chances of being ready when the first impacts from the virus occur.
2. How can we best support employees with the highest risk profiles?
Certain groups of people are more likely to get very sick from COVID-19. To protect vulnerable people within your employee population, you need to understand the demographic profile of employees by location and work group.
There are many ways to ensure that those with the highest risk profile are supported to keep themselves healthy, including work from home arrangements. However, some types of roles require people to be on site, and there are also things you can do in this challenging situation.
One Visier customer is re-organizing their shift profiles so that the employees with the highest risk of a negative outcome from COVID-19 are placed on shifts in locations with the lowest potential for exposure. This is an example of how combining the risk profile of employees and of the locations they work in an organization can contribute to limiting the harm caused by the virus.
You may not be able to move people around in this way, but it is still important to consider all of the options available for keeping people safe while they work. Ensure that you comply with local labor laws or collective agreements. Emergencies are a time for new solutions–not business as usual thinking.

3. Which roles are business-critical?
Certain employees will warrant a distinct and potentially more radical response, such as relocation. To determine whether this action is justified, identify the people without whom the business would stop functioning. How many of these people are located close to “hot spots”? Do you have the opportunity to move them now to less risky locations? It will be too late once they are inside a quarantine zone.
As always, the HR group has to balance the needs of the individual with the needs of the business and through positive communication to deliver the best result possible.
While it may seem like an extreme response, the level of uncertainty around the virus, and our collective ability to control its spread, means that taking the lowest risk option early will give you the best chance of reducing any negative impacts.
