These are trying times for employees and employers alike in just about every industry imaginable. Disrupted work, adjusting to work from home (for the lucky ones!), uncertainty about how long stay-at-home and social distancing orders will last, outright business closures and layoffs or furloughs for those who rely on customers visiting on-site, health care workers preparing for complete overwhelm while worrying about how their work will impact their own families … the list goes on and on. And for our friends who live in community associations, there are added issues of continuing to run your community while complying with the guidance, or order, to shelter in place.
Amidst all this, government agencies have been working fast to provide guidance to employers and to employees and rolling out programs to not just stimulate the economy but also help the economy survive. Here is a roundup of articles from the Sandberg Phoenix blog to help businesses and employers, and there are surely more to come.
If we may be of assistance, please reach out. Taking a proactive approach, receiving guidance and planning for the future of your organization and the welfare of your employees is important and not something that should be left to chance. Call me at 314.561.5078 or email me at [email protected].

Be safe. Be well.
