Innovatia is committed to the health and safety of our employees, our clients and the local communities of our offices around the globe. As the Covid-19 virus continues to spread rapidly, we are working diligently to stay informed and educate ourselves and our workforce on how to best protect our teams around the world.

Innovatia has a Business Continuity Plan in place and has assigned a team of internal resources to ensure we continue to be prepared to react in a way that is in the best interests of our employees and clients. As we progress through this, we are confident that the measures we have put in place will not impact our ability to meet the needs of our clients.

As a part of our Business Continuity Plan at Innovatia, we have implemented the following policies to keep our workplace safe. We anticipate further possible changes to these as the guidance from government authorities continues to change.

Work from Home

Innovatia is fortunate enough to have the ability to seamlessly transition the majority of our workforce to a remote working model. While we are not shutting down any of our office locations currently, we are implementing a mandatory Work from Home directive for all employees and contractors that have the ability to do so until the end of March. At that point we will reassess the situation and make decisions on further steps.

We understand that the remote working model may present a challenge for some of our clients. We have requested our management team work closely with these clients to align on arrangements that work for both parties.

Travel

All corporate travel has been suspended until further notice unless CEO level approval is obtained. Employees travelling out-of-province or country on personal travel will be mandated to work from home upon return for a minimum period of 14 days after re-entry to the province or country.

In the Workplace

We have implemented a No Visitor policy in our office locations until further notice. Our employees will also conduct all internal meetings using technology in lieu of in-person meetings until further notice.

It is our commitment to continue to educate our workforce on ways they can contribute to mitigating the risk of the spread of Covid-19. We will also continue to monitor the news and follow governmental recommendations on this matter.

We encourage you to reach out if you have any questions or concerns.
