Here For You ─ Information About COVID-19

We are here to help our customers in good times and be resilient in bad times. As we all face uncertainty, our priority is to be here for you, our customers and for our employees, as well as the communities where we live and work when you need us most. 
We are closely following the guidance of reputable health and government authorities such as the World Health Organization, the Centers for Disease Control, the Public Health Agency of Canada and local public health officials to inform our decisions.
In these challenging times, as COVID-19 is a rapidly evolving pandemic, we leverage the strength and knowledge of our organization in executing best practices to mitigate risks and deliver on promises. Now, more than ever, we have an opportunity to demonstrate our resilience as a Broker, and we are pleased to see the many proactive measures being taken within our industry to ensure the health and safety of customers, employees and partners.

Staying the course

At Rhodes & Williams, we are actively monitoring the situation and have established guidelines to help protect against spread of the virus in the workplace. Some of the measures we are taking include enhanced work from home arrangements, business and personal travel limitations, modified meetings through teleconference, as well as meeting and event restrictions. 
We are regularly updating employees and taking proactive steps to maintain our service levels to our customers and our insurance companies in this changing environment. 

Helpful information for your reference

Internally, we have developed a couple of best practice documents that highlight some of the actions we are taking at Rhodes & Williams and for our customers, we are publicly addressing the most common questions our customer might have.    

1. Policy Changes and Updates

Although, some of our staff will be working from home, we have undertaken appropriates measures to ensure a fluent customer experience for you.  You should notice little change in connecting with us through your normal channels of communication (phone, email etc…).  Please continue contacting us as you always have.
