That’s the hot topic on everyone’s agenda right now, so perhaps the right moment for you to join us on May 21 at 2pm CET on Borderless Live, in conversation with our guest, Clark Harrison, COO at Zobele Group.
Led by Clark, the company’s seven industrial sites worldwide responded to the Covid-19 crisis by implementing revised operating practices that created a more secure environment for the physical health and emotional well-being of more than 6,000 employees.
Consequently, since the start of the crisis, five of Zobele’s seven factories have operated continuously and two restarted after short shutdowns.
We’ll discuss the steps Clark took to reconfigure practices that led to all Zobele plants receiving approval from inspecting authorities to continue or resume operations. Impressed by the measures taken, visiting authorities have stated that Zobele has implemented the “best practices” and encouraged other companies in their area to adopt the same practices.
We’ll hear from Clark about the practical steps he took to ensure the safety of his people during transportation to and from home, entry and exit to place of work, and distancing during operations, breaks, and shift changes.
If you are a business head or operations leader, or simply ready to hear from a pragmatic senior executive about practical solutions to safeguard employee physical health and emotional well-being, this event is for you.

BCG analysis has found that among the 20 largest private equity (PE) fund portfolios, an average of 20% of assets are exposed to geopolitical risk (for several funds, the percentage is much higher). Companies must contend with three main areas of risk exposure: cross-border value chains, strategic sectors, and climate regulation and policies.
A group of global CEOs recently gathered for a private dinner in a Spanish restaurant in central Tokyo, representing a variety of sectors spanning food, insurance and banking, medical devices, semiconductors, and heavy industries like steel. These are six topics that dominated the evening’s discussion.
“Despite playing a significant role in organizations, HR is being left out of the conversation on AI adoption,” according to the report. That’s a mistake because HR leaders can help develop a strategic and holistic approach that considers the benefits, risks and objectives of AI use — while also maximizing return on investment and mitigating harms to reputation, security and inclusivity, it said.
