Is Your Company’s Workforce Prepared to Deal with The New Normal?

Rob O’Donnell, Shawn Schafer, Geoff Mussig, Meghan Skiff

With the current economic instability bringing flashbacks to 2008 for those who follow the market, business owners may be wise to keep an eye on Wall Street as well. Will they need to revert to their hiring (and firing) practices of the recession? What will this mean for older and younger employees who are currently sitting on the sidelines of employment, looking for their next employment opportunity? What will this mean for the current staff of a company that finds itself forced to “do more with less”? Rob O’Donnell of Solutions 21 tackles these questions and more as he talks with business leaders who weathered the storm that was the 2008 recession, and industry experts who will offer advice on how business owners should prepare for a potential recessionary “double-dip”.
