The first module on how to protect my people and setting up the Emergency Response Team was very useful for me. I run a pre-primary school and knowing how to properly implement Covid-19 response plan is critical as we have to keep our students protected. The module answered many of my questions and guided me in setting up the team. Great initiative from the NPCC.

Thank you NPCC Team for providing the EPS platform with a proper sequence of pragmatic guidelines. Being in the Tourism Industry, this will be healthy to the best course of action. Your piece of advice and support will definitely be integral to the process. With gratitude, Roomesh

If you were on the digital call today, I listened in from a point of curiosity. It was a good intro in what needs to be done and what can be achieved. What can help is the creation of frameworks to start using ie -customer experience- the net promoter score. project management - agile. tools - Trello, Slack, Zoom, these are collaborative tools and free.

Dear NPCC Team. I will like to convey my thanks for the effort put by NPCC during this difficult time for everyone. The modules on the EPS are very well thought and give a very clear insight on practically all aspect of running and sustaining a business. The module 1 on Protect your People has been very helpful to us as we are busy preparing resumption of activity with the safety of our personnel and customers as top priority. Each and every idea developed in module 1 has given us more confidence on how we will start and maintain our activity. The module helped us to develop 15 steps which we refer as our Protocol for resumption of activities. I will highly recommend every entrepreneurs to make use of the EPS Program.

All help from NPCC is vital in post-Covid times to entrepreneurs. On top of financial assistance, what we need is a platform to share ideas and do some networking. SMEs have to help/ empower each other in those difficult times. NPCC could bring assistance in providing CPDs on innovative ideas, all the financial aspects of handling a company, the Tech side: how to go digital/ online shopping... For those in the retail sector, the next issue will be to move online and provide delivery facilities...

A quick note to share that we are actually taking the lockdown as an opportunity for catching up all technical / online training from overseas suppliers on products/services and innovations.

Interesting platform from NPCC to share our thoughts and views. In this time of crisis we should focus on constructive and positive thinking. It is high time for us to reinvent ourselves and think of new strategies for our development. We have been too much geared towards a service economy in the recent years that we have been neglecting the agricultural and manufacturing industry/light engineering. Without letting down what we have achieved in tourism and service economy, we should re-start to work towards a self sufficiency in the food industry as it was being encouraged in the 80's. Regarding the manufacturing industry which is more of my concern, a lot of development can still be done so as to decrease our dependency on imported finished goods. As for now, our company namely, Creative Sign which deals with signs, printing and displays, we are temporarily orienting our production towards protection/safety signs against Covid 19 as well as sneeze/cough barriers made from acrylic sheets. For the local manufacturing industry to improve and innovate, there is no doubt that we will be needing the help and support of the NPCC. Regards Parvez Muttur Creative Sign Ltd 08.05.2020

Thank you NPCC for this platform. While businesses have been operating mostly as per the market demand, the actual situation in our local and limited resources will depend on the supply side. Output may be the result of several parameters and may not necessarily be profitable : An enterprise may be able to produce as per the number of employees it can accommodate while considering resources available in order to respect for example social distance ( workstation area, public area, number of toilets, cost of keeping employees safe...)

GOD BLESS US AND PROTECT US ALL. Well, it is sure that this situation is unique for the world and everyone is praying for it to be over. But the fact remains that everyone is confined in its own thinking, visualizing and anticipating the future. Some are stressed and others are active from home on the social media and getting a lot of information. But we business people should be thinking in a very opportunistic way and positively in such a terrible time. GOD made this situation happen and HE is preparing a better way to make the world better. So, Friends take this unique opportunity to learn, share and encourage others to overcome this crisis. We can do nothing except prepare the recovery. NPCC should be congratulated to have put this platform so that each of us share their experience and ideas. Lets use it and prepare the recovery.

40 years of experience in General Metal Workshop was a long journey for ZAKDA Wrought Iron Co Ltd.I was reading the comments and I think it is a difficult situation for all of us. But it is amazing how fast businesses and even at individual levels are implementing visual management: floor marking for social distancing and acting in a more disciplined way. All this reminds me of 5S implementation at our company in the year 2014. We are now located at the Coromandel Industrial Park for SMEs and even after all these years we have kept the culture of 5S in our company and now imparting the knowledge to new comers. We still have our shadow board for our tools and floor markings in place. Keep the good work, NPCC will always have my Blessing. Nizam Mandarun Director ZAKDA Wrought Iron Co. Ltd

Thumbs up to the Rey and Lenferna team! While Covid-19 indeed poses a significant threat to businesses around the world, it tends to be even more devastating to SMEs as we usually rely on internal cash to run business activities. Liquidity issue remains a massive concern. At AAH Upholstery Ltd, measures need to be put in place to first of all, address the cash flow problem and protect jobs. NPCC remains the best platform where we always have tailor made solutions to all kinds of business problems. We will be once again collaborating with the NPCC on a strategic and planning exercise that caters to our goals and objectives. I found the different modules very helpful especially the one on cash flow management. We wish the best of luck to other businesses around Mauritius.
