To all valued members of the FITT community,
The coronavirus outbreak is being felt globally and is a serious concern for everyone. It is important that we all take the necessary steps to protect the health and safety of our families and our communities.
Last week at FITT we joined the many organizations adjusting to a work-from-home environment in order to protect our staff, clients, and “flatten the curve” by playing our part in reducing the impact of COVID-19 on our global community. This was our first step.
The second step is looking to the future. From a business perspective, and global economic perspective, we are dealing with unprecedented and unpredictable times.
And whether we are working from home or from our “home offices,” the FITT team is committed to leveraging our network of international trade experts to help each other meet the unique challenges of today and tomorrow and how COVID-19 will affect business continuity.
How can FITT help you?
A crucial activity in this initiative is to ensure we are all staying informed through credible sources. This is the role the FITT team is taking part in – providing as much relevant and actionable information as we can to support trade practitioners and the international businesses we serve.
We are looking especially at the economic impact, and being prepared to navigate risks today so that we are prepared for the future, however that may look.
