Managing the new normal: Roadmap to recovery through strategic OHS initiatives
A framework for businesses looking to recover and build from COVID-19

​

Twelve months after the pandemic started, our latest perspective looks that the current dynamics and trends that have formed. We look at the 4 main trend areas and discuss our observations and what opportunities businesses can capitalize on - both in the short and long term - positioning themselves for a more structured response, get ahead of the game, and recover from COVID-19.

                  Respond

 

In the first phase of a crisis, organizations are typically responding to the new circumstances in a way which ensures business continuity and which prevents short-term damage from rising trends (eg. lack of liquidity, loss of important customers). A reaction which has been observable in almost every industry across the globe in the last 12 months.

​

                 Recover

 

The second phase is heavily based on fast learning and the subsequent adaptation to the new business context. What does our industry landscape look like? What additional legislative obligations do we now have? To what degree did the expectations of our customers change? Is our operating model still the right one to serve rising customer needs and changing OHS regulations? These are questions that should be answered. Dedicated trend research is an inevitable part of making the right decisions.

​

           Build

 

Once it becomes clear what a “new normal” could look like, organizations start to implement the measures required to become more resilient for a future crisis, as well as those required for future growth. A continuous tracking of implemented lessons learned, in combination with a regular trend review add up to increased resilience with growth opportunities and makes the organization stronger for the future.
