Q: What best business practices have you learned from 2020 and what did you do to be creative or pivot to remain in business?
Baskin Strategies was in a unique position going into 2020… After all, we had been encouraging Work from Home (for the appropriate job positions of course,) increased mobility for employees, flexibility with work schedule and reduced real estate to save cost for years. We blinked an eye and suddenly the world agreed with us. Our silver lining in 2020 was solidifying that our approach to how employees can and should work is spot on. Our pivot has been learning to connect to companies virtually rather than in person to communicate our services in a world where they are needed more than ever.
