he lockdown of the parish of St Catherine will test Sagicor’s work-from-home plan, which was implemented last month.

That’s the view of President and CEO Chris Zacca, who says as much as 60 per cent of his workforce are already working from home with many of them residing in St Catherine.

Speaking in a Zoom news briefing on the company’s 2019 financials on Wednesday, Zacca pointed out that the strategy has been working well thus far.

However, he declared that the real test will manifest itself in the coming days with the lockdown of St Catherine. Zacca made it known that Sagicor was early in implementing the COVID-19 safety protocols in restricting movement and people within its space by implementing a work-from-home policy.
