COVID 19 Summary

COVID-19 brought the bulk of the busy United States workforce to a standstill.  Human resource managers faced (and continue to face) unprecedented challenges.  At no time have these professionals ever been required to manage policies ranging from remote workplace practices to layoffs, furloughs and recalls to provisions of the CARES Act to childcare for essential workers all at the same time.
