In this grave moment of pandemic, we want to share some thoughts and clarify the organization we at Upscale have set up.

Upscale expresses its solidarity with the patients and victims of the Coronavirus that has spread throughout the world.

We have a special thought for hoteliers and restaurateurs who have closed or are in the process of closing their establishments, but also for all those who, because of their profession, need to keep going out: health and medical personnel, community service employees, public or private transport and service agents, shopkeepers and pharmacists, etc.

We urge everyone to demonstrate courage and discipline and follow the guidelines issued by their respective authorities in order to limit contagion and casualties.

This is an ideal time to reflect on the importance of people, to take care of oneself and loved ones. Let’s refrain from holding gatherings and instead take advantage of the tools at our disposal to get closer to those we love, read a book, listen to music, do some exercise, play board games.

It is also a moment to work differently, anticipate the recovery which we are confident will return very soon. To embark upon ambitious projects that are frequently postponed due to time constraints.

And why not use that time to consider a renewed economic paradigm in which human beings, the environment and our society as a whole would reclaim their rightful place over purely financial rationales?

We also want to reassure our clients and candidates by explaining how we are adapting during this pandemic:

• first of all, our two partners Pascal and Séverin are in good health and intend to maintain that good health,
• secondly, we have been working remotely since our creation and containment has hardly changed our habits – we continue to be reachable by telephone or videoconference,
• in addition, we rely on a excellent cloud-based IT tool, which is maintained by leading service providers,
• and lastly, we have taken the financial steps to continue to provide you with assistance for several months.

Having started Upscale as a business 3 years and 3 months ago, we would like to thank our clients and candidates for the wonderful response they gave us.

We are confident that the difficult times the world is now facing will make each of us grow and we look forward to meeting or talking with you again!

Let’s stand strong and united in front of this pandemic, let’s respect the containment and health guidelines. Let’s look out for one another and get back to normal as soon as possible!
