Date 23rd March 2020
RKG would like to share our thoughts and best wishes to all during this difficult period. We are all experiencing events that are unprecedented during our lifetimes. During this time the health and welfare of our employees and their/our families is of paramount importance. We are however open for business. Below is a statement highlighting the RKG operating procedure until further notice:
We are keen to share with you our business continuity planning which has been designed to enable us to continue providing our full range of services during the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak.
Across our business we have suspended all non-essential travel, meetings and visitors to our office. Face to face meetings are to be replaced with video or audio conference meetings via Microsoft Team or Skype.
RKG will be following government guidelines regarding self-isolation and working practices. If a member of staff shows any symptoms of the virus we will advise any known third parties with whom such staff may have been in contact. Our office will remain open and minimally staffed and colleagues will be homeworking.
Our IT systems are designed to deliver our full range of services remotely from any location, enabling our teams to work seamlessly wherever they may be located. This includes full access to our complete suite of software programs, access to our central servers and BIM etc. Our telephone-conferencing facility enables our teams to continue to engage with clients and consultants, and our software allows us to continue to facilitate close collaboration sharing of information across all projects.
We will continue to monitor the ever-changing situation and shall amend and update our processes and strategies as necessary.
We are committed to maintaining our business operations and to ensuring that our clients continue to receive the highest quality service with minimum disruption. We will, of course, keep you updated if any changes are made to our working practices.
Please stay safe over this challenging period.
All at RKG.
