As the world has come to a standstill due to the COVID-19, a lot of us have been unable to work. While some people have set up temporary offices at home, not every operation can be done in this matter. Anderson is a commercial print provider. Our production units cannot be run from home. But this hasn’t stopped or discouraged us in any way.
Even before the lockdown started, we were taking measures to combat the threat. From making sure that everyone had washed their hands with soap and applied hand sanitizer before entering the building to restructuring employees’ attendance, we took a series of steps to ensure risks were minimized.
Only those who had their own vehicles were allowed to come while those commuting by public transport were asked to stay home without loss of salary. Since the lockdown was imposed we are transferring the salaries of every employee in their account to ensure they face no financial uncertainty.
We have always given priority to our clients, and remain in constant touch with them. Before the lockdown started, we had rushed to complete almost all assignments in hand. Our main focus today is on understanding how we can help our clients post-lockdown to make up for the lost time. We are analyzing their needs in view of the changed circumstances, working on their suggestions, as well as planning to modify our offerings from that perspective.
Although we are only partly functional, we are utilizing the time to impart training in the different departments. The lockdown is not necessarily a depressing situation but an opportunity to attend to things that get neglected in the course of a day to day work. We now have the time to analyze and upgrade ourselves by learning new things. We are also addressing the little systemic flaws that creep into working processes under the pressures of dealing with deadlines. When we resume our full printing operations, we expect to return smoother and more efficient.
As the lockdown extends, we also look forward more eagerly to the day when we will once again be back. We are already preparing for the recovery with a focused and methodical marketing and sales plan. Devising procurement and production strategies are also in our plan that we are keen to put into practice. We are trying to work out a win/win equation with the employees to ensure seamless teamwork once the virus is defeated.
We realize that lifting the lockdown doesn’t mean everything will become normal in one go. This COVID-19 phenomenon will probably impact mobility for quite a long term. But we know that we can overcome this by planned optimization of the man-machine equation. We will certainly be able to resume production without delay from the day we get the green signal. Until then, we are finding ways of winning this fight by staying and working from home.
As we have been helping many of our clients deal with their printing needs during this COVID-19 scenario, we would be happy to help you too.
