This COVID-19 crisis has been damaging on so many levels. In addition to so many tragic deaths, there has been so much uncertainty and variables to consider and weigh. So many employers have been knocked sideways as the result of this completely unprecedented event – and by extension, so many employees and their families – leaving us with many questions.
Here at Shaker, we are big fans of making informed and educated decisions, especially at a time when many businesses are reacting and trying to steer without a compass. “Grace under pressure” is a time-honored quality for good reason and it can apply to a company’s reactions to a situation as much as a single individual’s…and now, more than ever, needs to be on full display.

If the answer is “I don’t know”, keep these unknowns on your radar and start looking for answers because people will start asking them of you, as an employer – both affected employees and top talent especially – sooner than later, most likely.
