The Partnership hosted a webisode to review reopening guidelines and the safety business plan template.
NYS released industry-specific guidelines for the reopening of businesses, which include a Business Safety Plan Template. Having a clear and available safety plan will be a critical part of the reopening process for businesses.
We heard from experts from Hurwitz & Fine and Employer Services Corporation as they dove deep into specific HR and Legal issues that businesses need to consider while developing a reopening plan or revising one already in place.
Our experts addressed common issues and concerns, specific to HR and Legal, that businesses have raised while creating a safety plan. This information is essential for any business currently developing a reopening plan or any essential business that has been operating and needs to double-check measures against the new guidelines.
