Planning For The Rebound – COVID-19 Blog Series
The COVID-19 pandemic has led to widespread unemployment, altered our work lives, and permanently disrupted work routines for millions of Americans. As the crisis unfolds, government and business leaders at all levels have begun to turn their attention to the rebound. As the economy begins the gradual and painstaking process of reopening, there are dozens of questions that employers in California and beyond have begun to ask.
Hirschfeld Kraemer addresses those questions in a 20-post blog series entitled Planning For The Rebound. Employer-focused topics include:
• What will work look like this year?
• How can we protect our employees and stay productive at the same time?
• What precautions must we take?
• What problems should we expect?
• Should we plan for a second outbreak?
