The IBM Covid-19 Compendium: A Practical Approach to Effective Pandemic and Crisis Management

Are you responsible for the health and safety of employees? How well are you prepared for the next pandemic or disaster?
   
   As the SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) pandemic surged across the globe in early 2020, businesses of all sizes and their employees were adversely impacted by this swiftly spreading virus. How can workplaces be better prepared for the next pandemic, natural disaster, or manmade crisis?
   
   In The IBM COVID-19 Compendium, IBM’s Global Medical Team shares their experience and lessons learned from a large multinational company in protecting and preserving the health, safety, and well-being of employees around the world throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. The Compendium can also act as a resource for small- and medium-sized companies who need a quick reference guide of policies and practices to help them prepare for the next pandemic or disaster.
   
   Features include—
   
   - Technical safety guidance and considerations around designing workplace policies, organizational controls, and protecting the individual employee.
   - Chapters on COVID-19 surges, outbreak support and response, vaccination campaign efforts, as well as reflections and lessons learned.
   - A fully global team of 48 contributors across 18 countries document the diversity of their on-the-ground experiences throughout the pandemic.
   - Chapters can be referenced or considered individually as opposed to needing to be read successively.
   - Each chapter opens with specific learning objectives and concludes with questions that assess the readers’ comprehension and mastery of key chapter concepts.
   
   If you are responsible for the health and safety of workers at a large multi-national organization or part of a team at a small- or medium-sized company, The IBM Covid-19 Compendium provides a truly global, hands-on perspective of how the pandemic unfolded across the world. IBM’s experience can provide a template for your company, large or small, to quickly and flexibly manage the next large-scale global emergency, natural tragedy, or man-made disaster.
   
   Regardless of the size of your organization or the availability of a dedicated health and safety team, The IBM Covid-19 Compendium will empower you to have the tools and knowledge to help address a future pandemic or disaster, whether it’s local, regional, or global.
