Video: Keys To Navigating A Crisis Like COVID-19

July 8, 2020


The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has been called a once-in-a-century crisis. Disrupting every aspect of life, society and business, it’s unlike anything the vast majority of us have ever experienced.

Even with all the efforts to control the spread of the virus and “flatten the curve” of infections, COVID-19 seems likely to be a factor in our lives for some time to come. Until there’s a vaccine or effective treatment, businesses must be prepared to address future outbreaks, often with conditions varying by geography.
