G4S India Offers A Comprehensive Range Of Solutions Under The Work Assurance Program In The Post Lockdown Era

G4S India offers a comprehensive range of solutions under the work assurance program in the post COVID-19 lockdown era. This year so far has been quite unprecedented for people, businesses, economy and the government. Safety and care for all lives has taken a center-stage and a preventive approach is the most sought-after behavioral change.

Everything that was done prior to COVID-19 is being questioned from a safety stand point and simple things that were routine have become important now, for e.g. working from office, restarting of a business, strict safety compliance of government policies and the personal fears of people beyond the realms of business.

Workplace hygiene and employee mental well-being

Workplace hygiene and employee mental well-being will no longer be a good-to-have component

Workplace hygiene and employee mental well-being will no longer be a good-to-have component; instead it will become a must-have in the post-lockdown world. Likewise going digital too will be a basic necessity for survival in all spheres, such as communicating, working, educating, supporting etc.

Post COVID-19 life would require every individual to take extreme care of personal health & hygiene, educating the resources on personal safety, drive social distancing behavior, focus on mental well-being, helping employees with anxiety and provide assurance to employees, their families and the government while going to business as usual.

G4S offers high level of security

This is good to have, but the businesses that are under financial stress due to continued lockdown will prefer to have an asset light model, in absence of available cash for deployment.

During the period of lockdown, G4S continued to provide all its customers the required level of security, protecting their facilities and employees from the adversity. Through their global expertise and innovative IP technology solutions, G4S have provided support to many customers and helped them resume their businesses.

Uncertainty about the future

Leadership will be expected to define new rules of working, provide direction and comfort to the employees to get them back to work, motivate and energize the teams by actively engaging with them.

It will take a while for the employees to get away from social distraction and focus on their work, hence the managers will be expected to increase collaboration and provide direction to the team for meeting the desired performance.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) based tech solutions

This unprecedented situation has taught everyone to be more resilient and enabled them to define their own path to success, amidst all that may continue to happen in the world. The world’s dependence on Artificial Intelligence (AI) based tech solutions to manage the work environment will increase multi-fold and it will be multi-dimensional.
