HONG KONG, June 21, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ -- The multibillion-dollar burden: managing the costs of covid-19

Join 150 policy and business leaders and explore ways to manage the indirect costs to businesses of endemic covid-19.

Hong Kong, June 20th 2023 - Policymakers, health experts, business leaders, academics and representatives from government organisations, will join us online to watch 60 minutes of panel discussion addressing The multibillion-dollar burden: managing the costs of covid-19.

Businesses still face a great deal of uncertainty after the covid-19 pandemic. Direct costs have been pronounced and well documented. But as covid-19 moves into its endemic stage, businesses must come to terms with the indirect costs and effects on the workforce: illness, long covid and caregiving responsibilities are causing higher levels of absenteeism and therefore lower productivity. Endemic covid is forecast to cost economies in Asia billions of dollars in lost productivity. How can businesses best adapt to this new reality?

Moderated by Charles Ross, principal, technology and society, Asia-Pacific at Economist Impact, the event features senior expert speakers including:
Matthew Dickason, chief executive - Asia Pacific, Hays
Audrey Cheong, vice-president, southeast asia operations, FedEx
Aaron Lim, global head of human resource, Park Hotel Group
Matt Craven, partner, McKinsey
