Full Credential Description
The London Work, Travel & Convene Coalition, convened and led by Aon, was established to address the unique challenges faced by businesses in London as they navigate the recovery phase of the COVID-19 pandemic. The coalition comprises large employers and key organizations located in the City of London and Canary Wharf, including notable firms such as Accenture, Aviva, and Legal & General. The specific issues identified include the complexities of returning employees to high-rise buildings, managing the density of urban environments, and the reliance on public transport, all of which pose significant hurdles to a safe and effective return to the workplace. To tackle these challenges, the coalition focuses on sharing insights and best practices among its members regarding planning and operations. This collaborative effort aims to evaluate the impact of various approaches and the latest technologies that can facilitate a smoother transition back to office environments. Aons initiative is designed to create a benchmark for developing key recommendations and guidelines that align with UK government public health directives, ensuring that the return to work is both safe and efficient. The results of this coalition's efforts are expected to contribute to a more resilient operational framework for businesses in London, fostering a people-first approach to workplace management. By emphasizing community wellbeing and social justice, the coalition aims to support broader societal and economic recovery initiatives, ultimately enhancing the interconnected ecosystem of the City and Canary Wharf. This initiative is part of Aon's global objective to facilitate safe workplace returns, with similar coalitions being established in other major cities worldwide.
