April 2020
The last several weeks have been a trying time for our nation. With so many businesses closed and all of us sheltering at home, it’s natural to be concerned about the future.
As part of our Blue Horizon Tek Solutions’ community, I want you to know, as we go about filling the needs of our clients and working to ensure the health and safety of our employees, we are also looking forward to the time when the crisis is over.
When that time comes, and hopefully it will soon, we will be ready to meet the need to get everyone back to work and transition back to business as usual.
In the meantime, our entire team continues to work remotely, with full, secure access to all our systems. Though our physical offices remain closed nationwide, we’re still answering the phones, filling positions and staffing jobs.
We shared our initial steps with you two weeks ago, when the Centers for Disease Control and Preparedness declared the coronavirus a pandemic and advised all those who could to stay home:
- We immediately transitioned all of our personnel to work from home.
- To protect employees working in temporary positions, we contacted our clients to assist them in making remote work arrangements wherever possible.
- We encouraged all interviews to be conducted remotely and communicated with candidates and clients about safe procedures in cases where that was not possible.
Our efforts to limit exposure and avoid in-person contact are also continuing. Recruiters are conducting interviews exclusively by video conferencing or phone. Our team is reaching out to clients, temporary employees and candidates on a daily basis to check on your well-being and offer help with remote work and staffing needs.
And because working remotely and managing remote teams is new to so many and takes a different approach, we’ll be supplementing our blog with articles on the topic. We hope this offers you valuable information as you transition to this new normal.
Our IT and Office Support teams continue to support clients with their hard to fill roles and continue to be a trusted advisor on their hiring needs.
If there is any way Blue Horizon Tek Solutions can help you, know that we want to and we’re here for you. Our main number is 212.695.8676
This is a difficult time for our country, for our businesses, and especially for our families and loved ones, but we are all pulling together.
As we approach the holidays with Passover, Easter and Ramadan around the corner, I want to extend my personal thoughts for your health and well-being. Together we will get through these challenging times.
