Making the decision to trim your workforce in challenging economic times is never taken lightly and is probably the hardest decision you will have to make. Before you start the process or make the decision, here are a few steps to help along the way.

 Congratulations on surviving an entire week of sheltering in place! Monday marked day one of online school for my own quaranTEENs and the first Monday of the first full week of total isolation.
Yet, I do not feel isolated. In fact I have been on more webinars, calls, and online meetings than I think I was when we were all in our offices together. In some weird way, I feel more connected than ever.

This is the loan that we field the most questions about.

Before I dive fully into our weekly communication and update, I want to just say thank you. Thank you for ALL that you do, day in and day out, pandemic or not. Our nonprofit sector is probably the most innovative, creative, and caring group of professionals out there. I see how hard you are all working, doing more with less and constantly fulfilling your missions in bigger and new ways every single day. Thank you just doesn’t seem like a sufficient sentiment right now, but know that I have an incredible amount of respect for you. All of you. It’s been a tough couple of weeks for all of us. We’re adjusting to new schedules, new “coworkers” (in my case a husband and children), new desk/office spaces at home if we are lucky (we’ve received one submission already for our #idahomeandhealthy campaign of someone using an ironing board for a desk!) and learning how to use at least two different remote meeting technologies to remain connected in our work. While I miss being in my office every day with my team I am also trying to find the positives in my new normal. One of them is that I definitely love the commute. And I find that I am actually far more productive because I do close my office door at home, something I almost never do at the office. I noticed that I am getting outside to walk our Chief Morale Officer, Olivia, far more frequently which is something I never did before. I hope that I continue to take more breaks to enjoy the fresh air when things return to “normal” once again. |
