Coronavirus (COVID-19)

Frequently asked questions

 

Q: What do I have to consider when visiting a Robert Half office and what actions have you taken to minimize the potential health and business impacts of COVID-19?

Anyone entering a Robert Half office is asked to follow the Robert Half COVID-19 security policy as follows:

  • Ensuring the 1,5 metre social distancing rules are maintained whilst in all areas of the office, meeting rooms and shared areas. If this is not possible, please wear a mask that covers your mouth and nose.
  • Follow the recommended hygiene guidelines (e.g. thorough hand washing).
  • If you have been in contact with anyone who have coronavirus, or if you are feeling unwell before your meeting, please do contact us and we’ll arrange a virtual meeting instead.
  • If you belong to the group of "particularly vulnerable persons", please let us know in advance.

Should you have any questions on these requirements, please contact your contact person at Robert Half.

Q: What should I do if a Robert Half temporary or contract employee working for me is potentially exposed to COVID-19 at my company or office?

If someone tested positive for COVID-19 at your office, and our Robert Half temporary or contract employee is still at your office, please ask them to leave your office and, if possible, continue to work from home and call your contact person at Robert Half.

If there has been a possible exposure to COVID-19, please call our local Robert Half office or your contact person at Robert Half.
