Productivity, Healthy Living and Strategy in a Crisis – Emergent News
Posted By
The effects of coronavirus, both health-wise and economically, has been the sole topic of conversation as of late. It’s somewhat hard to avoid when the epidemic actively impacts every facet of our lives. Social distancing, transitioning to remote work and digging through the impact of the CARES Act, cover just a few key things from the last week alone.
But instead of becoming overwhelmed by the news and decisions, we’ve risen to the challenge. We’ve come together as a company, as a team, working to quickly overcome these difficult circumstances and collaborating to face the problem head-on.
It’s all been with one goal in mind, to bring resources, tools, and assistance to small businesses and entrepreneurs. To come together and not just survive, but thrive throughout this crisis.
Now, this is a unique event, with new challenges emerging on a weekly and even daily basis. Don’t let that scare you, instead, look for new opportunities to improve your business, your team, and your own productivity.
To help kickstart that process, here are a few of our favorite articles on productivity, COVID-19 strategy, workforce management, and healthy habits, from this last week.
We hope you are all staying safe out there and are finding effective ways to break through uncertainty.
Thanks for reading.
