We’ve seen all of the data and news reports about the impact Covid-19 has had on employment. Unfortunately, we’re probably not through all of it yet.  I spent some time with Marcia Lareau, Principal at Forward Motion, LLC., a firm that helps people find careers that are the best fit for both the employer and job seeker, to get her perspective on what the employment market is going to look like for the next several months, how we can prepare for it, and what opportunities might arise in the midst of rising unemployment and business closures. 

In this episode, I spoke with Paul Robbins of Paul Robbins Associates about how important it is for businesses and organizations to continue to get their messages out and how they can modify their messages for the “new normal.” The interview is like a series of short white papers on how to best take advantage of the Covid-19 business environment, as Paul gives us a few case studies on how to thrive in times of uncertainty.

The quick pivot to remotely brought with it many challenges, not the least of which was maintaining and improving employee engagement. In addition, employees returning to the worksite are facing uncertainty, new procedures and more. What to do?Janice Mazzallo, CEO of Employee Engagement Plus, LLC., has some answers and practical tips to help leaders engage current employees and new hires. She also talks about the new skills and approaches managers will need to consider as they lead people in the Age of Covid.

Let’s face it. We’re not going back to the way it was before Covid-19. I want to look ahead. To help me with that, I’ve spent time talking with people in different industries about what they think "Business in the Age of Covid" is going to look like for the next 12-18 months.  Over the next several episodes, you’ll hear interviews with professionals in the Human Resources, Public Relations, Sales, and Media industries, just to name a few, as they discuss what’s changed in their day-to-day jobs, how they’re adapting, and how they’re planning for the future. I hope you come along for the ride, because regardless of your industry, I think you’ll find kindred spirits as we all try to figure out how to move forward, no matter what we do for a living.
