After a few months of sheltering in place, states are beginning to open up and employers are starting to consider what a potential “back-to-the-office” plan might look like. Many people are feeling anxious about how safe the office will actually be — especially those who are at higher risk for Covid-19. This anxiety also extends to employees who might not be high-risk themselves but live with someone who is. (For brevity, I’ll refer to these two groups collectively as those who...

Although this year was challenging for all of us and the current situation prevents us from celebrating together this year's traditional Canada Day as we did in the prior years at the beautiful festive Rezidencija kanadskog ambasadora, we are using this opportunity to wish you - Happy Canada Day🍁🤝🕊

Beyond its human toll, Covid-19 has wrought upon us a daunting economic toll. In a matter of just two weeks in mid-March 2020, entire industries and sectors were brought to an abrupt halt. In the UK, for instance, car manufacturing fell from more than 70,000 cars in April 2019 to just 197 cars in April 2020; for further contrast, the UK made more than 120,000 units during February 2020. To survive a crisis like this, a business must be both efficient and resilient. Prudent accounting...

When there is negative news everywhere you look and unprecedented financial and logistical challenges facing so many companies, it can be tough to advise people to stay positive. Many leaders we work with worry, especially now during the global pandemic, that trying to emphasize positivity and happiness will make them look out of touch — and rather than helping their people, it will backfire. The findings from our multi-year research project at a hospital system in Iowa indicate quite...

The chatter in our cafeterias and conference rooms is replaced by the disquiet we’re experiencing inside our socially-distanced bubbles. From general malaise to specific maladies, many employees are afflicted by stress and anxiety that make brushing teeth and cooking a meal feel like the day’s crowning achievements. My clients, executives in a variety of organizations, feel overworked, underappreciated, and cut off from their colleagues. While there’s no panacea for these current...

U Aleksincu je počeo da radi pogon kanadske Magne Seating, koja proizvodi opremu za automobile. Proizvodiće se presvlake za sedišta za sve automobilske brendove.

Ono što je još bitnije, u drugoj fazi predstoji grinfild investicija, odnosno gradnja nove veće hale, u koju će biti preseljena cela proizvodnja...

On March 21, 2020, just eight days after its first confirmed Covid-19 case, Guatemala’s government issued a nationwide lockdown. That same day, Marsa, an innovative and rapidly growing driving school in Quetzaltenango, the country’s second-largest city, yanked the emergency brake on a 20% fleet expansion. “We were staring at financial ruin,” recalled Saul Calderon, the company’s CEO. “Our whole family, all involved in Marsa, stayed up all night as the initial shock gave way to wracking...

After weeks of lockdown, New Zealand has achieved its ambitious goal of eliminating the coronavirus what you can read more about in the article: https://www.ctvnews.ca/world/how-new-zealand-eliminated-covid-19-after-weeks-of-lockdown-1.4914963 Source and photo credit: https://toronto.ctvnews.ca/, AFP  

Before the pandemic, there were no playbooks for how to convert a co-located team to 100% virtual in a matter of days and we’re finding in our research that the conversion process — and the results — has differed substantially from team to team, even within the same organization. This variability puts tremendous strain on individual employees who are now navigating not just one whole new way of working, but often several. The pressures on teams will continue for the foreseeable future as...

  Starting on Friday, 22 May, a negative test or a special permit for both domestic and foreign citizens will not be required to enter Serbia, it was recommended to the government of the Republic of Serbia today. The Crisis Response Team for the Suppression of Infectious Disease COVID-19 in its meeting today analysed the current epidemiological situation and adjusted the measures to be applied. All persons entering the territory of Serbia will be handed health warnings stating...

The greatest challenge we face in the current crisis is striking the right balance between preventing not only the damage inflicted by Covid-19 but also that which comes from a severe contraction of economic activity. This is a matter of both life and death, and prosperity or poverty, as a deep recession is likely to cause widespread hardship, including increased mortality rates for reasons other than the virus. We must, therefore, find smart strategies for reopening businesses while minimizing...

After the official abolition of the state of emergency caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, most companies have resumed regular business activities from their offices. However, the World Health Organization and the Government of the Republic of Serbia recommend maintaining social distance, as a result of which the operations of many companies will be changed. Thus, disinfection barriers, disinfectants, the adequate distance between employees, and a new way of organizing the workspace are some of the...

The Case for Reopening Economies by Sector The coronavirus pandemic has introduced extreme uncertainty into nearly every aspect of society. Will health care systems hold up? Will scientists develop a vaccine? Are essential workers safe? When can regular employees go back to the office? The answers to these questions — when there are answers — seem to change daily. And with each change the stock market (and our hopes) rises or falls. Since the Covid-19 pandemic began, we’ve seen pervasive...

As COVID-19 continues its advance, it is showing that much that we believed was wrong. Things that seemed impossible a few months ago have suddenly come to pass. As it turns out, thousands of businesses, universities, and other organizations can pivot to a totally virtual environment in days, not years. Societies divided by politics and inequality can quickly come together in shows of mass solidarity. The pollution over China can magically disappear. As conventional...

You might think that crises tend to bring out the worst in people, but that isn’t reflected in how we view our leaders, at least. In fact, crises cause us to view leaders as more charismatic and effective than we normally do. This is probably why U.S. presidents are almost universally re-elected in times of war. And research has shown that leaders who self-sacrifice tend to be seen as the most effective. Following 9/11, I was so intrigued by crisis leadership that I did a...

We are honored to announce that our valuable member, Cementation Canada, is ready to inject innovation into the underground mining space. Injection Hoisting first came to the attention of the global mining audience after Cementation Canada, the technology developers, took the top prize along with KORE Geosystems at the DisruptMining event in 2017. Back then, the concept was viewed as a potential alternative to the labour- and cost-intensive process of shaft sinking. More than three years later,...

Vlada Srbije usvojila je protokol ulaska državljana Srbije i stranih državljana u Republiku Srbiju, u skladu sa epidemioploškom situacijom i zaštitom stanovništva od zarazne bolesti COVID-19. Državljani Srbije mogu da uđu u našu zemlju i kreću se bez ograničenja uz negativan PCR test na koronavirus, ne stariji od 72 sata.

Explorations of copper and gold sites in the Bor area, jointly carried out by the Canadian geological company Mundoro, the mining corporation Vale Canada Limited, headquartered in Brazil, the Japanese national oil, gas and metals company JOGMEC and the American mining company Freeport-McMoRan Exploration Corporation, will continue in 2020. The first results of the explorations carried out so far in the location near Lake Bor seem to be promising and show that there's a need for further analysis. Zeleznik...

During the Covid-19 crisis, I’ve spoken with many CEOs who have shared that a key priority for them, naturally, has been the safety and well-being of their employees. And there are many examples of inspiring actions taken by CEOs and companies in support of their employees. But as we’ve come to recognize that this crisis will last more than a few short weeks, companies are now defining their approach for the long haul. I’ve seen two crucial ideas take hold with corporate leaders. One:...

CANSEE dugogodišnji i verni član cargo-partner je u nesigurnim vremenima pandemije prepoznao potrebu za odgovorno društevnim poslovanjem i ponudio pouzdano alternativno rešenje u odnosu na uobičajene rute i transport između Kine i Evrope, kao i niz dodatnih opcija. Uticaj koronavirusa doveo je do nedostatka kapaciteta u transportu između Kine i Evrope. U trenutnim uslovima, železnički teretni saobraćaj iz Kine ostaje prilično stabilna opcija. Antiepidemiološke mere nisu uticale...
