A MESSAGE TO OUR CLIENTS AND STAFF
The COVID-19 virus has impacted us all in an unprecedented fashion. Regardless of geography, demographic, or profession, this disease is moving quickly and challenging us all in ways we never thought possible.
Like many of our clients and staff, we are asking difficult questions about the current situation. As an HR firm with over 40 years of experience, we have supported businesses and employees through financial crises, devastating natural disasters, global conflicts and more. Even so, we recognize this is uncharted territory in the world of work.
Today, we are reaching out to inform you of the workforce actions we are taking to slow the spread of COVID-19, to provide an update on our business operations, and to provide you with resources to help your organization take the best care possible of your employees and hopefully turn the tide on the spread of COVID-19.
