We are RISING UP against the Corona Virus (COVID-19) pandemic that is challenging our country, workforce, and communities today. We are dedicated to assisting our country, communities, and workforce with a sensible approach to help mitigate the further progression of this virus. Our goal is to EMPOWER and EDUCATE people with the basic facts and fundamentals of COVID-19 – human to human transmission and ways in which it can be mitigated in order to protect those most vulnerable and workforce as we make our way back to the workplace. As humanitarians and Samaritans, we feel we have a responsibility to assist where we can in combating this public health threat.

There are REAL challenges ahead of us and thoughtful considerations to be made in protecting ourselves, families, friends, businesses, and employees. We must remain vigilant, educated, and well informed to the many aspects of this new normal. We can collectively do this by being Proactive versus Reactive in this ever so changing daily environment. During these unprecedented times, employers will be faced with a new set of dilemmas that will most likely change the very fabrics of employment law issues. One that will require out of the box thinking, sound judgment, genuine leadership, compassion, and a strategic approach in combating this virus. This will also help reduce some of the fears, anxieties, and concerns the workforce will have with returning back to the workplace.
