Horváth remains committed to staying operational while prioritising employee safety

Horváth, a leading management consulting firm in the Middle East, has reaffirmed its commitment to maintaining operations across the region, even as ongoing geopolitical tensions continue to disrupt business environments.

Since the outbreak of conflict on February 28, regional instability has intensified, creating mounting challenges for companies operating across key markets. In countries including the UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Iraq, Kuwait, Iran and Lebanon, organisations are facing heightened security concerns, travel disruptions, and increasing investor uncertainty.

Now five weeks into the conflict, Horváth has confirmed that it has implemented a series of adaptive measures to ensure continuity in its client service delivery. Central to this approach has been the introduction of flexible and hybrid working models, allowing teams to remain responsive while navigating the evolving situation.

“In light of the current regional developments, we have adapted our delivery model to ensure we continue supporting our clients while safeguarding our teams,” the firm stated. “This enables us to maintain ongoing engagements and close collaboration across the region.”

In parallel, Horváth has taken steps to keep its offices operational wherever feasible, balancing business continuity with local conditions.

At the core of these efforts is a clear priority: employee wellbeing. The consulting firm emphasised that all adjustments to its operating model have been designed with safety in mind.

“At Horváth, the safety and wellbeing of our people remain our highest priority,” the firm stated.

Despite the challenging environment, Horváth underscored its ongoing commitment to clients. “We remain dedicated to delivering for our clients without disruption, while acting responsibly and with care for our people.”

Founded in 1981 in Germany, Horváth has around 1,400 employees and is a member of Cordence Worldwide.
