Portsmouth, NH - New universal guidelines have been released for businesses that are deemed essential or are re-opening their operations based on recommendations from the CDC, EEOC and OSHA to reduce the impact of COVID-19. Employers are now required to develop a process for screening all employees reporting for work, document the temperatures of employees, handle those with symptoms accordingly, as well as implement workplace cleaning and disinfection practices.

Each month Recordsforce has a company meeting where we get EVERYONE together. We used to do it in a conference room, but now we have it via a Zoom meeting. We review the company goals and our progress towards reaching them. We discuss any housekeeping issues and then we review some Flashlight Award nominations and announce the Flashlight Award Winners.

Like many companies across the globe, Recordsforce is being asked to keep as many of its workers out of the office as possible due to the COVID-19 outbreak. We are currently sending 3 out of every 4 employees home to work, where they are able to perform their jobs remotely.

Now that you are working from home, surrounded by giant stacks of Charmin, you may be noticing that some of your work is pretty much the same, but other work is nearly impossible to do. Your digital documents and cloud-based work is uninterrupted by a work from home requirement. That makes sense. The cloud can be accessed anywhere you have the internet and cloud-based tools are built for portability.
