The COVID-19 pandemic, as a global phenomenon, has affected all the working realities, worldwide, with the same issues. The aim of the present work is to assess the experiences of management and their preparedness during the pandemic among big companies, in particular, in the energy sector. Based on an overview of scientific evidence and grey literature, we found that big companies followed evidence-based decision-making practices and offered preparedness and information plans. Specifically, these plans contained recommendations and best practices to be followed to avoid the risk of infection in the workplaces, as well as in the field of epidemiological surveillance and vaccination. Nevertheless, many research efforts are required, and it is important that a large number of big companies and corporations address these challenges worldwide, adopting a new sustainable approach that includes both the productivity and health of the workers. A Call to Action was then issued in order to achieve evidence-based leadership to address current and future public health emergency scenarios.
新冠疫情作为一种全球性现象，以同样的问题影响了全世界所有的工作环境。本研究旨在评估大公司（特别是能源部门）在疫情期间的管理经验和应对准备情况。通过对科学证据和灰色文献的综述，我们发现大公司遵循循证决策实践，并制定了准备和信息计划。具体而言，这些计划包含了避免工作场所和流行病学监测及疫苗接种领域感染风险的建议和最佳实践。然而，仍需要开展大量的研究工作，重要的是，全世界许多大公司和企业需要应对这些挑战，采用新的可持续方法，包括工人的生产力和健康。为了实现循证领导以应对当前和未来的公共卫生紧急情况，我们呼吁采取行动。
