COVIS-19 has brought a plethora of new issues to human resource offices. The Society for Human Resource Management recently hosted a podcast to answer some of the burning questions of COVID-19. Roughly 40,000 people joined the call, which featured staff experts from the HR group and Jay Butler, deputy director for infectious diseases at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Participants included not only HR professionals, but also CEOs, business owners and random people with questions showing the persistent desire for guidance on how employers should navigate a global outbreak.
