Policies and Practices in the New Normal: What do Businesses and Employers Need to Know?

AmCham Philippines

AmCham came to life in 1902 as the Manila Coffee Round Table and later as Manila Merchants Association. Incorporated in 1920, it has since then recognized and reconfirmed the commitment of American business to the development and welfare of the Philippines and the Filipino people.

This is a commitment of long-standing, as its mission statement declares:

The Chamber exists to serve the interests of U.S. businesses through the participation of members in promoting their long-term objectives while contributing to the civic and economic development of the Philippines.”

Summary:

Adaptation has been the name of the game under the global health crisis brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic. The buzzword "new normal", has not only made it's way to various media outlets but also to formal legislation in the Philippines.

The proposed "New Normal Bill" in Congress aims to help the country adapt to the new way of life as a result of the pandemic, until a vaccine or cure for the disease is created.

Join this webinar if you'd like to know more about the policies and practices surrounding the "new normal", as well as what business and employers need to be aware of in the coming months.
