How Should Companies Plan To Return To Business?

Once the Government’s de-escalation plan has been established, the companies are immersed in the planning of the return of the activity, establishing what measures they are going to have to implement to adapt to the recommendations and indications prescribed by the competent authorities.

Faced with all the questions that companies face when reactivating their activity gradually, Experts has prepared an orientation guide that establishes a series of guidelines and recommendations to help companies organize and plan this return, following the indications established by the competent institutions:
