COVID-19 Considerations in the HR Arena

First – Our most sincere, heartfelt sympathies to those communities directly impacted by the Coronavirus pandemic.  Out of respect, following this episode, the HoRizon Podcast Team with be taking a pause from production until the situation has become better understood and contained.  We appreciate your understanding and continued support, we will be back!

That said, the office is being inundated with HR related questions about what to do and just as importantly what not to do in this unprecedented situation, so John McFarland, SHRM-CP will field a few of those from Greg.  Things are still morphing, so the list is likely to grow, and naturally we cannot cover every HR scenario in this setting.

During the show, information resources are mentioned multiple times and those links are provided below for your use.  We touch on some related topics such as leaves of absence, and Doctor notes in other shows, so check the show history for them if this interests you.

Until then be safe, be gentle, be kind.  We are all in this together and we will all get through it together.
