Coronavirus Business Strategies from Clients of The Bid Lab
The year 2020, aka “The Year Of The Coronavirus,” began as any regular year. No one in October 2019 would have predicted the highly contagious, deadly viral outbreak within the next few months. Therefore, the circumstances of the shutdown meant organizations needed to quickly adapt to a “new normal.” So, for many, that meant adapting coronavirus business strategies to adapt to long-distance work.
Shifting to Pandemic Business Strategies
Even before the worldwide coronavirus pandemic, many employees around the US preferred working remotely in order to accommodate their home and professional lives. For some, this was purely a choice of work style. But for others, it allowed for flexibility based on childcare needs, health restrictions or physical locale. The Bid Lab has always prided itself on our remote structure. Regardless of our headquarters or office locations, we can work with the best and brightest minds in the US. Because of this, The Bid Lab wanted to gain a wider perspective on how various industries adapted during the crisis.
So, during the height of the 2020 pandemic, we reached out.
The Bid Lab asked some of our clients in a wide variety of industries about their responses and/or their emergency coronavirus business strategies. Here are just some ways our clients responded after the sudden interruption of “life as usual” in the wake of an unprecedented global emergency.
Telecommunications & Information Technology
“At Bruin, we are taking the Covid health crisis very seriously. Bruin was one of the first organizations moving to a remote work model wherever possible. Not only do we believe this would help our community fight the spread of the virus, but it would also keep our employees safe and comfortable at any time.”
Gianluca Burroni, Director, Bruin
“At e-Core, we assist businesses become agile. With these unprecedented challenges companies are now facing, organizing and managing remote teams is critical to success. Our expertise can help organizations in any sector evaluate and adapt swiftly. We are ready to help!”
Stephen Cahill, Sales Director, e-Core
“Techolution is working hard to help our customers and potential customers through this crisis by providing what they need to keep their business running now! Our technologists provide solutions that reduce expenses and increase productivity today.”
Luv Tulsidas, CEO, Techolution
Project Management Consulting
“During this unprecedented time at Harmocity, we have been focusing on the future, securing our pipeline of future work and building more contingency plans into our financial model. These types of events hit everyone hard and can be extremely trying. While business may be slow, take some time to focus on strategy and where you want to grow after all this.”
Holly Stephens, Chief Operating Officer, Harmocity
Speech & Occupational Therapy
“We have informed all our staff and therapists at Jump Ahead Pediatrics that everyone is to work from home until further notice. We are providing families with an opportunity to receive teletherapy during our time of closure so that children do not regress with their goals.”
Janki Patel, Co-founder, Jump Ahead Pediatrics
Legal Services
“Napoli Shkolnik understands that this is an unsettling time for our clients and their families. This is why providing exceptional legal representation for the case they have entrusted us with is of the utmost importance. While some of our team members are working remotely to ensure their health and wellbeing, our commitment to delivering outstanding service synonymous with the Napoli Shkolnik name remains unchanged.”
Paul Napoli, Of-Counsel, Napoli Shkolnik
Medical Services
“Here at ParaDocs Worldwide, we specialize in providing onsite medical care in the most dynamic environments. Since many large events have been put on hold, we shifted our operations to support corporate and public health responses related to Covid. We have developed screening processes that utilize CDC guidelines to keep our clients healthy and safe. In addition, we are dedicated to fighting this epidemic alongside our established healthcare system by mobilizing healthcare units to the communities that need it the most.”
Alex Pollak, CEO, Paradocs Worldwide
Event Services
“The Prekindle business sits between event organizers and event attendees. We not only facilitate the transaction but provide the customer and client support, best practices, communication tools, etc. Our industry has been impacted severely by this pandemic, and our team is focused on providing a solid resource of support and information in these uncertain times both to ticket buyers and those putting on the events. Although our full team has been forced to work remotely, we haven’t missed a beat and have been able to fully support and continue our business while out of the office. We are staying tuned in to local and federal authorities and relaying that information across our network daily.”
JR Denson, Client Services Director & Partner, Prekindle
Transcription Services
“Many of our QTS customers are online-based anyway, so the transition hasn’t been hard for us. We have introduced new technology to some participants, but the key for us is addressing and calming their fears upfront. As odd as it sounds, this is a good opportunity for businesses to get creative and show their customers how they can handle things during stressful situations.”
Cal Hutson, CEO, Quality Transcription Specialists
Perseverance and Covid Business Strategies
While the disruption of a global shutdown meant many empty streets and deserted city centers, the disruption of everyday life also served to remind each other of the selflessness inherent in our shared sacrifices. Communities rallied on a massive scale to protect each other and our most vulnerable loved ones. Every empty town square represented a community pulling together to shield each other.
During those uncertain times, businesses of all sizes had struggled to adapt. However, throughout enormous challenges, The Bid Lab could only be encouraged by the way our clients continued to persevere and grow.
And to our entire Bid Lab network, we continue to wish you all the very best of strength and health.
