Make Staff Adjustments

You may be operating on a reduced schedule and may not need to maintain a full staff. Employees may be unavailable because of personal hardship. Evaluate how much and what kind of assistance you will need, and adjust accordingly.

You may need substitute personnel until things return to normal. It's a good idea to know where you can find a reliable agency that will provide people with the skill levels you require. If your building is not habitable, implement your plan to practice from a designated alternative location, and keep your staff informed.
