This crisis is emphasizing the need for business to have contingency plans ahead of time, otherwise, they can only react. Companies that planned for and allowed remote-work prior to the COVID-19 crisis were able to quickly implement stay-at-home policies while others had to scramble. These companies also likely had higher employee productivity and satisfaction with a more flexible office/location policy, to begin with. Look at other 'standard' policies and see how they may be used in times of emergency as well, and you may find your contingency planning becomes a better way of doing business all of the time.
