Overview

May 5

Many organizations responded to COVID-19 on the fly because they didn’t have time to create a comprehensive business continuity strategy. But it’s not too late. How long COVID-19 will last is uncertain and conditions can change quickly. But even after COVID-19 is behind us, there is no guarantee we won’t face a similar health crisis, a natural disaster, or another unexpected event in the future. Organizations that create a solid business continuity strategy now will find themselves better prepared for long-term disruptions in the future.

Join us May 5 at 10:00 a.m. PT/1:00 p.m. ET for a special 30-minute Lunch and Learn webinar where our experts will explore how to ensure your business operations continue to run smoothly and cost-effectively under the “new normal.”

You’ll hear:
- Common government business continuity challenges and how to overcome them
- Solutions work-from-home staff can leverage to make administrative tasks like mailing, shipping and receiving more efficient and enable “new normal” endeavors like contactless package delivery
- How to improve work-from-home employee productivity while reducing taxpayer burden
