Key Takeaways:

Businesses that have been able to adapt using technology will be better prepared for a potential 2nd wave of Covid. Those not ready better get prepared now
Covid has accelerated the importance of online platforms, remote connectivity and being able to provide your products and services remotely. These factors also play into the question of “should I bring my employees back into the office?”.
The question is “Should I invest in my employees now?” comes down to how competitive is your workforce environment? If you have to compete for employees, the demand for skilled labor is increasing and you need to have high quality benefits and technology to both attract and retain a high quality employee base.
How long will the impact of Hurricane Sally affect my business? A difference of a few miles along the Gulf Coast can make all the difference in what a local business owner is facing right now. Some are back up and running, some along the beaches are still cleaning up.
A clearly focused, transparent government with business friendly taxes and legislation is a key factor in the success of our local business owners. Should you invest in your business right now? There may be windows of opportunity open up that haven’t been present for many years. Now may the time to act.
