 » Addressing Workforce Challenges During COVID-19: A CEO Dialogue

Associations are facing significant workforce challenges due to the coronavirus pandemic. Having transitioned to a remote workforce, organizations have discovered new ways to stay focused, lead teams, and move their agendas forward.

As the weeks and months continue, however, workforce challenges will shift to economic challenges. Tough decisions will need to be made and contingency plans put into place. These will run the gamut from tapping into reserves, to freezing 401(k) matches and hiring, to furloughs or even layoffs. In this CEO dialogue, hear from colleagues about strategies for addressing these and other difficult workforce decisions.
