The 5F framework is a tool for businesses to organize their teams and ensure that they don't miss any issues during the COVID-19 pandemic. It consists of five separate workstreams: fighting the virus, managing the workforce, protecting clients, managing the supply chain, and preparing for recovery. Companies must focus on health and safety for their employees and clients, as well as mitigating the immediate negative impact of the crisis. While the speed and timing of recovery is unknown, it is important for companies to be ready to stage recoveries once the crisis de-escalates.
