Baker Tilly responds to COVID-19
A message from Baker Tilly Canada chair, Grant Galbraith:
As each day passes, our communities, our country and our world are facing unprecedented challenges to keep our people and our businesses healthy.
The COVID-19 Coronavirus outbreak is growing daily. Its impact on our day-to-day lives is quickly going beyond what most thought would occur in this short of a timeframe.
This is a time for all of us to show leadership and action to help to make our communities, our workplaces and our families as healthy and safe as possible.
This includes commitment to the basics, expanded use of technologies and adherence to quarantine safety measures.
The basics are more than simply maintaining maximum hygiene practices. They also include frequent cleaning and sanitizing, eliminating non-essential travel, avoiding large meetings and full commitment to social distancing.
Baker Tilly Canada has made significant investment in recent years in technology options to allow for video conferencing, file sharing and remote collaboration. Our professionals across the country can easily work from home and maintain our social networks and workflow. We can, and will, stay in close touch with our clients to help them work through their own business challenges.
Finally, adherence to quarantine safety measures is critical. We ask that if anyone – client or employee – is symptomatic, not feeling well or has had possible exposure to the virus to please refrain from entering public places. Educating our teams and supporting self-quarantine measures is a must for all of us.
At Baker Tilly Canada, we are doing our best to keep clients, visitors and employees healthy and safe in the workplace while also minimizing the disruptions to our day-to-day operations.
Our tagline at Baker Tilly is “Now, for tomorrow.” Today, that means more than ever.
Stay the course – commit to social distancing.
