Dear Members and Friends,
2020 was a year like no other. Together, we navigated through a new normal and have adapted, and endured these extraordinary times. As COVID-19 has overwhelmed the global economy, interrupted international and domestic travel, and disrupted our work and home lives - we are grateful for your support and honored to have earned your trust.
While it is too early to know with certainty how and when travel will truly pick back up in 2021, there are two key variables that will play a huge a role –vaccine distribution and confidence of travelers. Global Guardian’s VP of Global of Global Risk Services, Michael McGarrity, weighs in on the discussion in Washington Post's recent article "How will the COVID-19 vaccines affect your travel?"
The list of services the COVID-19 pandemic has forced to change is long with corporate duty of care being one of them. According to the Wall Street Journal “Many employees who are now working from home due to the pandemic don’t have the same protections—such as a badge system or a front-desk security guard—often found in corporate office buildings. If a threat is credible, remote employees and their families could be more vulnerable.”
The COVID-19 pandemic, which has caused more than 63 million infections and over 1.4 million deaths worldwide, has exposed a critical shortage of lifesaving personal protective equipment (PPE) in the United States. As suppliers have rushed to meet this demand, the quality of PPE imported from abroad has frequently fallen short even as these products are often sold at inflated prices. Consumers are literally risking their lives and paying more to do so.
