COVID-19
** UPDATE December 2020
Embark Group has been closely monitoring and managing the Coronavirus situation in order to be able to respond appropriately as necessary. The health and safety of our staff, clients and partners are our top priorities and we have a robust business continuity plan in place to ensure our clients continue to receive a first class service and that our support and client on-boarding processes run smoothly.
As a technology led organisation, the Embark Group has full capabilities in place to enable all our staff to work remotely. We do not expect day-to-day business operations or client work to be impacted significantly and there is currently no interruption or reduction to Embark’s services or responsiveness.
All of Embark’s UK offices remain open, however we are taking steps to protect the well-being of all our staff, clients and partners. This includes asking all our staff to work from home, restricting travel, avoiding meetings and using the latest technology to connect with each other and our clients.
This is a fast-moving situation, which we continue to monitor carefully, with effective communication processes in place in order to keep our staff, clients and partners informed.
