As businesses across the world are confronted with the impacts of the coronavirus, Zurich Insurance has launched a new podcast series, Risk Insights: Coronavirus. The series brings together key risk management leaders sharing their knowledge to help manage the evolution and impacts of COVID-19 and plan strategies for protecting their businesses, employees and the communities they serve.
