In November 2022, AMCHAM T&T collaborated with EY to conduct a pulse survey amongst the C-Suites, and Executive Directors/Management across 11 industries. We received 88 responses.
The survey aimed to gain insights into the approach companies are taking post-pandemic, specifically, whether they are reverting to pre-pandemic strategies or exploring new and innovative ones to adapt and pivot. This encompasses companies’ sentiment around:
1) confidence in the economy to grow,
2) corporate strategy as companies focus on growth and transformation’;
3) talent strategy as the risk of migration resurfaces as well as the need for new skills to adapt;
4) how digitalization is driving efficiencies and competitive advantage, and other pertinent considerations that continue to impact our local businesses’ operations.
The results of the Survey were announced by Zack Nadur - Partner, Strategy & Transactions, EY Caribbean at AMCHAM T&T's Economic Outlook Forum on Wednesday, January 18, 2023.

Crises are a fact of life. All Organisations are Vulnerable to Crises. The question is not IF, but WHEN a Crisis occurs, what should an organisation do?
This session explored the issues around crisis communications and effective communication strategies. What should organisations do BEFORE, DURING, and AFTER a crisis to ensure that the company’s reputation, brand, and community relations remain intact?

Let's talk Business Continuity Planning.
How many of us saw our businesses grind to a halt at the onset of the pandemic?
SURVIVAL in today's highly disruptive business setting means that leaders must have a BCP-ready for any disaster or crisis situation.
AMCHAM T&T hosted this interactive 3-Day BCP workshop as a peer-learning experience to share knowledge and good practice amongst private sector partners.
In the end, companies were better prepared and fully ready to maintain business operations during any disruptive period.
