In a matter of weeks, the coronavirus pandemic has forced millions of people to file for unemployment and businesses to transition into working from home. Moving forward, how can companies reassess and manage potential emergencies like this in the future?

Businesses have been forced to reevaluate how they can continue operations while maintaining secure networks. Cybersecurity awareness training company NINJIO is currently offering episodes at no charge focused on teaching people how to work from home safely. 

Additionally, companies need to ensure they have the right employees to actually help navigate unprecedented circumstances such as these. According to a 2019 survey by the Society for Human Resource Management, companies are facing challenges in finding candidates with skills such as problem solving and communication. Criteria Corp. is a resource that helps companies with hiring by providing comprehensive assessments that measure a candidate’s skills and emotional intelligence.

One of the biggest impacts that the pandemic is having on work lives is the lack of physical and social connection. Having clear communication with colleagues is essential to a productive business, so ensuring that employees remain connected and engaged will be key.
