In the face of COVID-19, global businesses are challenged to responsibly manage financial and people risks in their return to operation. These often-competing components are now inextricably linked; employees trust that prudent management action will be taken to safeguard health and income, with businesses in turn relying on the health of employees to ensure production and sales. With four decades of global WASH expertise and now a partner of global governments in their fight against COVID-19, WaterAid is uniquely positioned to support the private sector to build long-term resilience through the implementation of business and people critical hygiene plans.
