Working from home

WFH is just that – we will be working – and is very different from taking PTO or sick leave. We must continue to be productive and maintain all the usual business disciplines of completing our timesheets, invoicing our clients, meeting our project deadlines, virtual team meetings and connecting with our clients.

Both your physical and emotional safety is important to us. We will require that each employee completes a safety checklist to ensure your home work space meets safety standards. When it comes to your mental health, please take advantage of the services we offer. Please reach out to a colleague or your manager if you have concerns.

Our Employee Assistance Programs are available to you whenever you need. Please see below for details:

APAC Employee Assistance Program
AME Employee Assistance Program
ID Employee Assistance Program (includes all International Development consultants including those engaged on donor-funded work)

And here are some tips on managing anxiety.

Travel Advice

All international travel is banned until further notice.

Domestic travel must be explicitly approved by your General Manager or Division President.

If you are returning to your home country from any overseas travel, you must follow your local government advice and where specified a mandatory 14-day isolation must be adhered to.

We’ll continue to monitor relevant government travel directives over the coming months.

Credible COVID-19 and Travel Sources

What is COVID-19?

COVID-19 is a type of virus common across the world. Typical symptoms of COVID-19 include fever and a cough that may progress to a severe pneumonia causing shortness of breath and breathing difficulties.

Generally, COVID-19 can cause more severe symptoms in people with weakened immune systems, older people, and those with long-term conditions like diabetes, cancer, and chronic lung disease.

Wuhan novel COVID-19 is a new strain of COVID-19 first identified in Wuhan City, China. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO) have both verified this novel COVID-19 is being spread through contact between travelers from Wuhan and the people with whom they come in contact.
