KEY TAKEAWAYS

• High confidence to fully reopen – respondents report confidence in preparedness to execute effectively on

critical return to work policies under COVID-19, including: screening, use of facial coverings and PPE, social

distancing, cleaning and disinfecting, workforce safety communications, telework, and travel restrictions.• Coronavirus testing requirements is a critical exception in preparedness.

• Uncertainty of COVID-19 spread, slumping demand, and workforce safety top management challenges.• Capacity utilization is lower for 9 in 10 companies during the pandemic, and over half of executives report moderate to

extreme change in number of factory employees working regular hours right now.

• Industry consensus is emerging on must-have safety practices at facilities – 89% are requiring 6 feet of

distance between employees, and more than two-thirds are banning outside visitors except for deliveries.• New work arrangements include reinstating employees in stages, rotating teams, staggering start times, and

customizing hours and shifts, among other creative solutions.

• Policy setting is mostly centralized but implementation varies by facility – about 90% of companies

report documenting screening protocols, for example, and the standards differ by facility for 46% of them.

• Government guidance, demand levels, and other metrics are key indicators to proceed – 74% of

approvals for return to work will require CEO sign off with a longer tail of internal and external stakeholders. • Return to work in the Asia-Pacific region offers important lessons on key protocols, leadership, and government roles.

VERBATIM: GLOBAL SUCCESS FACTORS (CONTINUED)Protocols (continued)

• PPE and social distancing

• Following guidelines of social distancing and wearing masks

• Formalized medical screening through an online questionnaire combined with some level of antigen/antibody testing

• Availability of PPE for employees; lower number of cases being reported

• Downward curve in new COVID-19 positive cases

Leadership communication and preparedness

• Very structured, well documented processes (program for all elements of employee return, entry, in place work requirements,

PPE, testing, quarantine, etc.)

• Experience in dealing with similar pandemic situations in the past

• Good employees, with careful distancing and especially keeping sick folks home for work

• Communication from our CEO, social distancing, and flexible schedules

• Pandemic health and safety precautions in place; regional state and local alignment to be considered essential to operate;

reasonable supply and demand to justify running

• Ensuring supply chain stability

Local government

• Government restrictions/guidelines

• China government control = reduction in infections

• This relates to China: reducing infection rates, ending lockdowns, and reopening of OEM customers

• The country metrics showing major decline in positive test results

• Government agreement and proper PPE and cleaning provisions
