There are talks of issuing a “green passport” to those vaccinated, what about issuing a “green clearance” for each travel establishment deemed as safe enough to use or stay? Current self-declaration generic labels are not the real assurance needed. They lack particularity, lack depth and adaptation to the attributes and weaknesses of each specific place.
Here at EBI Consulting we highly recommend these steps to be considered now:
- Have your own pre-Covid 19 operations SOPs (or norms) first carefully reviewed now, and if needed – have them completed and revised to meet the new threats posed by the pandemic. There might be a need for some dramatic changes in some facets, not just cosmetic minor updates.
- Have it written down logically, not keeping it just verbal or in your head – in order to satisfy both regulators who are likely to demand much stricter regulation and also to a much fussier clientele – looking for extra assurances of safety measures, before placing a booking.
- Conduct a comprehensive quality assurance and safety audit now, before re-opening and after a short re-igniting phase of your business. Verification by a 3rd party, independent audit, would be ideally the best.
- Appoint local resources to be trained as “safety champions” for your organization. Any responsible staff member to check and verify – have them qualified for this task.
These steps will give greater confidence to the travelling public who will be nervous about venturing out. The greater the confidence, the greater the return in both the numbers of clients and the revenue they bring.
We invite you to contact us and test out our dedicated documentation and audit skills to help you have your business truly seriously verified, benchmarked and then improved.
