Is Coronavirus disrupting your workforce?
This is an ongoing and developing situation, and we are hearing many questions about the legality of mandatory screening, or requirements for temporary remote work, if it’s ok to ask employees to conduct business travel, and how to manage reductions in pay for hourly staff. This doesn’t mean work comes to a stop - at Gray Scalable, we can help you:
Institute a Remote Work Policy
Continue hiring for your open roles remotely (and show your team how to, too)
Develop and maintain remote Interim HR Support, like a Head of People
Provide remote trainings, like Management 101 and Interview Training
We know everything is moving quickly, so we advise everyone to stay informed, stay flexible, and stay empathetic. Aside from the general news, there’s also a lot of crowdsourced information available about what different companies are doing as a response, which may be helpful. However, we strongly recommend discussing the specifics of your company’s challenges with your employment counsel, as the right answers will vary in different locations, businesses and situations.
We’ve compiled a few helpful resources below and if there is anything we can do to help, please let us know!
