I-Connect007 Survey: Lessons Learned During COVID-19 Lockdown

Reading time ( words)

In a recent survey, we asked I-Connect007 readers about lessons that they and their companies have learned since the COVID-19 pandemic began. Survey respondents were asked to pick up to three areas of business operations where they felt the most important lessons have been learned along the way. Not surprisingly, health and safety led the way, but the supply chain, human resources and factory configuration were not too far behind.

At I-Connect007, we use surveys like this to ensure that we are staying up to date with the issues and challenges that are affecting you every day. Check back for more information about how your partners and suppliers are responding to the COVID-19 outbreak.

During one of our recent interviews, conducted as government leaders around the globe were issuing lockdowns, an industry expert had to pause and whisper some gentle and loving “goodnight and sleep well” words to a small child who was headed off to bed. Under these conditions, we’re working with our families and loved ones gathered close. It reminds me that we all have people for whom we do our work, strive to build successful businesses, and make the world a better place.
