As the COVID-19 situation continues to evolve, we are committed to supporting our people, our clients and our wider community. We are all facing these unprecedented circumstances together, but together we can rise to these new challenges and help each other.
First and foremost our focus is on the health and wellbeing of our people, our clients and our communities. We are committed to making informed, balanced and respectful decisions based on the expert medical advice of the Australian authorities and sharing our insights and information to help.
Our response measures are aligned with the advice provided by the Australian Government Department of Health, State Health Authorities and Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT). We are actively evaluating our response and our recommendations for businesses based on the reality of their effectiveness and being guided by the medical expertise.
Minimising disruption to our clients is a high priority, all Agilo offices remain operational and are ready to help our clients with the additional challenges brought about by this crisis.
Current Guiding Principles For Keeping Our Community Healthy
Agilo has initiated a number of changes, as guided by the Australian health authorities, to help ensure the wellbeing of our people, our clients and our community.
Working From Home Or At The Office
Agilo Agile is part of our day-to-day working culture – it embraces flexible working that delivers freedom and choice of where and how to work for our people.
We already have the ability for the vast majority of our people to work remotely if required.
Through industry best practice, methodologies and standards, we’ve made significant investments in technologies to ensure agile working is effective, efficient and resilient.
Self-quarantine
All people who arrive in Australia from midnight 15 March 2020 are required to self-isolate for 14 days.
Interstate travellers are to fully comply with state self-isolation requirements.
Our people are required to work from home for 14 days and seek medical clearance before they return to the office if they:
- had contact with someone who has or is suspected of having COVID-19
- have symptoms of COVID-19 (cough, high temperature, shortness of breath)
- been living in a household with a confirmed case you are to self-quarantine for 14 days after the symptoms cease.
Our people are to not come into the office if they have any flu-like symptoms or are feeling unwell. Where our people are working at client sites, they will comply with all client protocols, including working from home and split work arrangements.
Meetings And Events
We have restricted all meetings and events to include a maximum of 50 people, we continue to review this on a daily basis.
Travel
All domestic travel has been suspended.
All international travel has been suspended.
Visiting Agilo Offices
Interstate travellers are to fully comply with state self-isolation requirements before visiting an Agilo office.
Clients and visitors who have symptoms or who have travelled abroad in the last 14 days are being asked to conduct meetings by phone or video conference, rather than face-to-face. Our people have been advised if they have meetings planned with clients and visitors who will be impacted by the process, to make alternative arrangements to avoid people coming to our offices and being asked to leave.
