Transforming Business Together

Businesses face a constantly changing landscape due to COVID-19 leaving owners with many questions and concerns. All types of businesses are affected like:

• Restaurants
• Commercial Real Estate and Office Spaces
• Schools
• Salon/Spas
• Shopping Malls

They need to do their best to keep employees, customers and visitors safe but aren’t healthcare experts. That’s why we created the Keeping America Safe: Hackensack Meridian Health Assist Program to share best practices in safety, cleanliness, education and testing. Several business owners’ concerns that our program addresses include:

• How can I best protect my employees and customers against COVID-19 transmission?
• How can I keep track of the changing guidelines and their impact on policies and protocols?
• How can I certify that crucial, precautionary measures have been implemented as my commitment to provide a safe environment?
• How do I need to reconfigure my environment to accommodate for social distancing?
• What should I do if someone tests positive for COVID-19?
• How can I best support my employees’ health and wellbeing?
