No one could have predicted the challenges we would face and changes we would need to make, but many people are adapting and thriving. The COVID-19 pandemic has revealed the strengths and weaknesses of the overall economy and individual businesses. Successful companies are rising to the challenge and finding ways to make the most of this new reality. As companies get back to business, they are facing challenges they have never seen before: If an employee comes down with COVID-19, it could take weeks to recover, even longer to being able to work at 100%. How can you ensure their work is done during their absence? Also, because symptoms can be difficult to identify at first, an abundance of caution is required to ensure the little cough or mild fever that might have been brushed off before is not a sign of infection that can spread to co-workers. As part of post-pandemic reentry, you could see a need to staff for completely different positions such as cleaning staff to keep surfaces sanitized or individuals trained to take employee temperatures or perform other health assessments. If you haven't hired for these kinds of positions before, sourcing, screening, and interviewing can be a significant burden. It's tough to know how the next few months will shake out. Will things be back to normal relatively quickly? Will the ramp up be slow? Will there be a second wave of infection? A staffing firm can help you prepare for any possibility. They can help you take a cautious approach to hiring, adding to your team on a temporary basis to prevent layoffs in the face of a downturn. Some of the changes the pandemic brought were temporary - such as isolating in our homes. Others may be part of a new reality. For example, it's entirely possible that social distancing will be required in the workplace for an extended period. With fewer employees allowed to work on-site, how will your business respond? Will you need more remote staff? Will you need to extend or add shifts to perform work on-site and meet deadlines? How will you staff to meet these changes? It may take some time until we are back to full strength, but there is no reason we can't find ways to reopen successfully. Staffing and recruiting firms can work by your side to get your business safely and profitably operating at full capacity.Increased sick time and call offs
