We have all had extraordinary experiences that we’ve learned from over the past several weeks. We all have heart-warming and heart-breaking stories to share. One of the most significant eye-opening realizations for me has been, “what are the needs vs the wants.” As we begin to introduce our team back into the walls of our Baton Rouge office and warehouse, we have to ask ourselves, “What are those things that we must have that are crucial to our operations and what are those items that fall into the bucket of “well it would be nice if…?” Don’t get me wrong. The “wants” are quite important too; they make up our culture and they round-out our daily lives. Just make sure the needs are met first. Right now it boils down to masks, gloves, clean air, hand sanitizer, antibacterial soap, and the list continues.
Taking care of our teams is certainly on the top of everyone’s list. Creating a healthy environment for everyone to return to work is paramount. We’ve discussed these issues on all of our NASGW task force and board calls.
