Combatting COVID’s Impact On Your Business
COVID-19’s impact on your businesses’ bottom line can do more than hurt your PNL statement. This pandemic can curtail the confidence and creativity that most businesses need to survive and thrive under current conditions.
In the next episode of “Employment Law Today,” Eric will be speaking with Amy Cole, Founder and CEO of Amy Cole Connect. In addition to being an executive recruiter and career coach, Amy is a talented speaker and networker.
During the COVID-19 crisis, I have watched Amy successfully maintain her business, while pivoting with some of her services. In addition, Amy has built a weekly Zoom gathering called “Wednesday’s Career Zoom”, which inspires connection, encouragement and support for candidates and companies alike.
Amy and I will be discussing how to a company or a job seeker can reinvent themselves, develop new services, and create a community in support of their goals.

About Employment Law Today
Helping Business With Employment Law Issues.
For many business owners, it can be overwhelming to keep up and comply with the federal and state labor and employment laws that govern how they run their business. With the COVID-19 pandemic, there are new laws and regulations regarding hiring, firing, and workplace practices and protocols — all of which can increase business owners’ anxieties about regaining traction or thriving again. On my weekly show, we will be discussing the most common employment law related questions and challenges that business owners have been facing in these uncertain times.
The show will have three main goals: (1) to inform businesses about employment law updates, (2) to inspire businesses by giving them the tools to move forward, and (3) to demonstrate how some business owners have overcome their employment law problems, walked through the challenges imposed by this pandemic, and have taken steps to regain traction during the reopening phases of this pandemic.
Our guests will include professionals who advise businesses from an H.R., legal, and financial perspective, along with thriving business owners who will share their experiences and insights into running a successful company while complying with labor and employment law mandates during COVID-19.
