Alabama businesses took unprecedented steps to help in a communitywide response to avoiding the worst of a pandemic. However, getting back to normal will not be a matter of changing lights on a traffic signal.
“When businesses can finally reopen, we can imagine bosses saying, ‘Welcome back, everyone! Free coffee and doughnuts today. Now, let’s get to work!’” said emergency management consultant Bo Mitchell. “But they can be blindsided by employees’ trauma and inability to focus on their jobs.

A former soldier and police commissioner, Mitchell holds certifications in emergency management, business continuity, hazard management and environmental safety compliance. Based in Connecticut, he has corporate clients around the world.
