Adaptation All Around
As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to shape our lives, we all continue to adapt how we work and how we do business - and we’re all learning on the fly. We recommend this eDriving webinar on Thursday that focuses on Protecting Your Drivers During the COVID-19 Pandemic.
We’ve also got a timely article on how Sixt is providing rental cars, at cost, to support the safe movement of key workers during the current crisis to and from the workplace in the U.S. and Europe.
Want to Do a Zoom Interview with Us?
Here at FMW we’re also having to adapt to the current crisis - and one way we’re doing that is by conducting Zoom video interviews so that we continue to have timely video content. Please email me if you would like to do a video interview yourself, or if you'd like to suggest someone else!
Stay safe & be well!
