Policy & Procedures

IPG is committed to continuous improvement of health and safety conditions for our employees and to following all applicable laws and regulations promoting workplace safety. In addition, IPG’s Code of Conduct covers health and safety and requires employees to notify their manager immediately if they become aware of unsafe working conditions. We provide a dashboard planning tool for use by each IPG company’s incident management team.

Crisis Preparedness

IPG’s longstanding global crisis preparedness program covers emergency preparations, incident management and business continuity amid health crises and other events, while bolstering employee health and safety.

IPG’s crisis communications systems and tools include:

Interpublic Preparedness

IPG’s internal employee website provides numerous employee services and resources to support our preparedness program and our workforce notification system.

Internal Crisis Contact List

IPG employees are informed of changes to and newly available crisis and safety resources through a focused email list of 1,250 designated crisis contacts throughout the network.

Health & Safety Risk Assessment

As part of our annual enterprise risk management process, IPG develops a risk assessment for our operations around the world, with health and safety hazards included as types of potential risk. The assessment is used to inform the selection of companies to be audited for crisis preparedness compliance.
