In this episode, Rich Pierle discusses the importance of Return to Work (RTW) Planning and introduces Pier Digital's online COVID-19 Information Project. The information contained within the COVID-19 Information Project is a state-by-state listing containing various pieces of information such as state opening status and public gatherings. It is a repository of resources and data from state and federal governments, health organizations, Think Tanks, and more. Leaders can augment their existing efforts with the site's information to better mobilize their people, planning, and processes during COVID-19. Rich also introduces his next focus, the Return to Work (RTW) workbook for CIOs, CEO, and C-Suite Leaders responsible for mobilizing their people, processes, and technology.
