Advanced Clinical continues to monitor news about the evolving spread of COVID-19 around the world. We know that it’s more important than ever to maintain business continuity in addition to the well-being of our consultants, clients, and internal team. That’s why we’ve built a plan to ensure our team can continue to deliver services in a remote setting as well as developed contingency plans for our business operations. Our goal is to continue to provide the resources you trust while reducing the possible risk of spreading COVID-19 among our communities.  Please note the following regarding our response to COVID-19: 


What We've Done So Far 

  • Work from Home: While more than half of our global organization is used to working remotely and are already ahead of the curve when it comes to efficiently meeting our clients’ needs, it’s important to note that we are now a 100% remote workforce. Per the recommendations of regulatory agencies in our global regions, this is to ensure we all do our part to help slow the spread of the virus. Our technology and phones are completely functional at our employees’ homes and we are seamlessly operating on a virtual basis. We are proud of the fact that we are well equipped to work under emergency situations due to our preparedness and are here to help your organization with any needs or requests that you might have during this challenging time.
  • Flexible Work Schedule: We realize that some of our employees may have school-age dependents that may interfere with the ability to work remotely during a normal business day.  We have equipped our leaders with tools to manage coverage – maintaining business continuity for our clients -- while giving flexibility to parents to care for their children. 
  • Non-Essential Travel: We have suspended all global and domestic non-essential travel and implemented remote activities as applicable. We will continue to assess our policies based on guidance from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the World Health Organization, and local governments. 
  • Quarantine Protocols: We have implemented quarantine protocols to ensure the safety and well-being of our employees should they be exposed to, or contract, COVID-19. 
  • Consultant Requests: We have procedures to enable consultants assigned to our clients to perform their work remotely if necessary. We have been able to quickly accommodate client requests for remote work options.  
  • Consultant Communication: We continue to send updates via email regarding our policies and procedures directly to our consultants including an updated paid sick leave program.  Please connect with your recruiter or contact us if you have any questions.   
  • Client Communication: We continue to send updates via email regarding our policies and procedures.  Please connect with your representative or contact us if you have any questions.
