The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the importance of emergency preparedness in all aspects of our lives, including in our workplaces. On the other hand, emergency preparedness is becoming more complex as our communities and our workplaces get more diverse.

We now need to think about languages, communication tools and methods, past experiences and diverse populations’ needs, among other factors.

This presentation will provide insights informed by one of the largest COVID-19 outbreaks connected to workplaces. The lessons learnt from this experience will provide practical tools for other employers to prepare for the next emergency.
