NS Group has sought to shape and drive the property industry as a pivotal role in our country’s economic recovery. When the COVID-19 global pandemic hit Australian shores, no one could have predicted the duration of the disruption nor the magnitude of its impact on the nation’s wellbeing and economy. In Australia, we were fortunate to ride through the first wave of infection and so far, we have fared better than many other countries from a health management 24
perspective. However, we are not immune to the direct and flow-on effects of closed borders, business shutdowns, social distancing measures and the ongoing uncertainty until an effective vaccine is available. Like most other companies, at NS Group our initial priorities were to respond swiftly to safeguard the health of our staff, their jobs, and business continuity for our clients and their respective projects. Once the transition to a remote workforce quickly became the norm, we then turned to finding a way to help others.
