The Pandemic is one of the Best Gifts to Businesses

Guests: Bianca Welds, Manager, Digital Innovation: VM Group Duane Lue-Fung, Founder & Chairman: TGL Group Welcome to Your Business Matters, a podcast of EXIM Bank Jamaica where we bring thought leaders together on thought-provoking ideas and methods to help grow your business. Businesses have been forced to pivot over the past 2 years since the inception of the COVID-19 pandemic. What once seemed impossible for many business owners has become the new norm as corporate companies identify innovative ways to conduct business. We have seen the creativity of the technical industry coming forth and the giftings of the content-creating community coming alive but on the flip side of this joy are companies who have yet to adapt to the fast-paced changes of business operations. Many have had to close their doors due to the decrease in supply and demand of their products and services. While many have discovered life in this pandemic, others have suffered the loss of their livelihood with all hope gone with the wind. In today’s we take a look at the pandemic as a gift to businesses. Some of what we discussed include: Dealing with disruptions in business Implications on the business of family togetherness during the pandemic Advice to employers on how to pivot during the pandemic We also touched base with a member of our audience Renee Rose who posed this question to our guests “ Apart from remote working how can businesses meet its employees half-way so that employees are able to balance work and family life?” Connect with our guests: Connect with Duane at 978-1246 and at  Duane Lue-fung on all social.  Connect with Bianca @BiancaWells on Twitter or visit her website at biancawells.com Thank you for joining us on Your Business Matters hosted by Heneka Watkis-Porter of the Entrepreneurial You podcast.
