Currently, the COVID-19 vaccine is widely available to most employees. Is your organization ready to help get your team vaccinated and back to work? If so, what is your companies vaccination strategy? As major shifts continue to change America's world of work in unprecedented ways, now more than ever, leaders must adapt to the rapidly evolving workplace.
My first guest, Rick Grimaldi, has been at the forefront of COVID-19 issues and joins us today to share his insights on how employers can quickly and safely prepare a vaccination strategy for their employees. He discusses how business leaders can adapt to ever-changing business environments, become better employers, navigate disruption, achieve their goals, and prepare themselves for transformational change that’s coming their way.
Unfortunately, many business owners simply worry about profits while ignoring business wealth building, but a successful business needs both. When implementing profit and wealth strategies simultaneously, business owners can avoid costly mistakes and effectively build a solid and sustainable business.
My second guest, Ruth King, known as the “Profitability Master,” joins us today to share why every business needs to grow wealth in the pandemic (yes, it’s possible!), why so many small businesses go bankrupt, how they can avoid such a fate, and how they can insulate themselves against further economic fallout during this time. She provides insight into why so many businesses fail to track or measure the right financial data, which mistakes start-ups can avoid, and some “easy” ways to grow business wealth and develop a sound debt strategy.
