The global economy right now is seeing one of the worst hits since the World War. Companies dealing with the World Health Organization-declared pandemic are implementing remote work policies, integrating more technologies to support this new system, planning for contingencies, adhering to new salary adjustments, and looking at the possibility of lay-offs in the near future. This is the real image. It’s unfortunate, but it’s happening.

The challenges cropping up almost daily are of a higher magnitude than what we are used to seeing. Our aim at Kingsley Gate Partners is to tackle these obstacles together. We want to see our clients and employees safely to the other side – and the nature of our business allows us to make this happen. As a global executive search firm, we engage in daily conversations with some of the most respected thought leaders in the country. We reached out to them to understand how organizations across industries and sectors are tackling the infamous virus to further their plans for business continuity. These conversations have resulted in a collaborative framework that we now present and share with you.
