COVID-19 Update: Playing our Part in Today’s Connected World
In this time of the coronavirus pandemic, we remind ourselves of Stanley Consultants’ mission of Improving Lives Since 1913. Central to this is our People First commitment: The well-being and safety of our clients, communities and colleagues is our top priority.
Since the beginning of this crisis, Stanley Consultants has worked to contain the spread of COVID-19. We have adjusted our business, operating and people practices so that our employees remain supported, connected and productive. We are fully aware that our clients and partners have mission-critical or key civil support functions. We take our part in that very seriously and are working diligently to support them in meeting those obligations.
On the prevention side, we formed a COVID-19 emergency response team to monitor the situation in real-time and provide members with accurate information. We immediately sent international employees and their families in endangered areas to safety. We suspended routine travel company-wide and implemented virtual office working for most of our employees. We enhanced remote working technology, practiced social distancing and expanded medical coverage for such things as medical tests. We will do what it takes as evolving situations demand.
We understand the need to support our clients and communities securely, effectively and reliably, both today and in the future. As a company that has connected people and solved issues around the world for over 100 years, we remain confident in our employee-owners’ continued commitment to delivery excellence.
These are unprecedented times that will impact our lives for the foreseeable future. They require us to employ our problem-solving skills to pull together today for a better day tomorrow. As a proud member of a global engineering community with a vision of creating a sustainable, enriched and connected world, we, at Stanley Consultants, are committed to playing our part.
