COVID-19 Pandemic! What Are the Employers’ Options to Manage Their Workplace? Reduced Hours, Furloughs or Terminations! What Makes Business Sense?

OVERVIEW

COVID-19 concerns have permeated the workplace and many HR professionals and employers are scrambling to get the most updated information for their employees and their customers to reduce fears and to provide guidance to ensure support and offer alternatives to maintain employment and prepare during this crisis.

That being said, along with health concerns, safety concerns and reliable communications, businesses are desperate to make decisions quickly when they may not have all the necessary facts to make informed decisions. Moreover, the decisions they make may not be in the best interest for the business or for employees. This training will provide a strategic overview of how can managers support employees, how to develop and implement a new company policy, and what employers need to put in place to make decisions that will impact their workforce temporarily and allow them to transition back to normalcy without losing their workforce.

WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND

How leaders perform during a crisis determines how their employees will see their company. When the decisions made impact employees it would be prudent to include the appropriate employees or if nothing else, include the managers before the decision goes out to the employees since they will need to explain the decision. Additionally, including your managers may provide you with the necessary feedback on the impact the decisions will make on the business thereby, creating alternatives.
