During this unprecedented time most businesses are having to adapt, large numbers of workers will be working remotely and others will be placed on furlough. This presents a unique situation and one which companies need to ensure they have the necessary insurance in place to protect their and their staffs’ interests.
Many insurers are relaxing their policy requirements to accommodate new working practices and the following are examples of where changes are likely to happen:
Company owned equipment taken home by employees
Employers liability remains in focus and companies need to ensure that while their staff are working remotely they have a safe and suitable environment to work in
Staff who have been placed on furlough and continue to have use of a company vehicle need to ensure that their motor insurance provides social domestic and pleasure use
If any business trips were booked prior to the outbreak of Coronavirus do you have travel insurance to reclaim your costs
Are staff who continue to work at their usual business premises being provided with the necessary advice and any relevant personal protective equipment
