The quarantine is a great way to control the spread of the Coronavirus Pandemic and ensure that as many lives are saved as possible. Yet there have been many disruptions for businesses, daily wagers and the economy in general. If you have been following the news there has been a mass stockpile in the past few weeks and not only has it led to panic.
What can businesses do in a situation like this? Here are a few tips to help you figure out what the best business moves are for your business during the Quarantine.
Donate
This is a great time for donations to vaccines or hospitals. Amidst panic and uncertainty, it helps the business image a lot of you put a strong front. Corporate social responsibility is something we read a lot about in theory but it is ensuring that a company makes good use of its platform and resources by giving back to society.
A donation does not necessarily have to related to the pandemic. Simply helping a dog shelter by providing dry food is something that can boost the morale of your team and improve the image of the business.
Send employees home
Now not every business is the same and for some businesses, this can be a turbulent time financially which means donations are out of the question.
Fret not, because there are other ways you can improve your you day to day business activities. A business move that you’ll see a lot of nowadays is shifting to work from home status. Most offices and workplaces were reluctant at first thinking this would negatively impact the productivity of the employees but in the wake of this global crisis there’s so much more that businesses have to take into accounts such as employee healthcare and insurance, possible lawsuits in case workforce gets infected from each other, violations in case of an official lockdown. The best move forward is sending employees home so they can be with their family and loved ones and that their health is not at risk. Not only does this boost their morale and in turn productivity, but it also protects the business from a lot of unexpected financial losses.
Provide deliveries.
The most important thing right now is the safety and health of everyone in general. This means your customers and your staff. The social interaction has to be kept at a minimum which is why delivery services are more popular than ever. Whether it is clothing, groceries or food, you can set up an e-commerce website to reach all your customers through a secure platform and keep the sales in a time like this.
A great example of this is Tradishes, a great place to find traditional food in your vicinity. Not only are more and more people looking for healthier home-cooked options. The special feature of delivery is also something more and more customers are making use of these days.
