This week on the HR Happy Hour Show, Steve and Trish were joined by Alison Stevens, to talk about the most pressing and important HR and business challenges that many small businesses are facing during the COVID-19 pandemic, and how Alison and her team of 800+ HR professionals are working to help these small businesses work through these unprecedented times.

Alison also shared how the types of HR questions that they are receiving are evolving as the pandemic has also evolved - from remote work challenges, to technical solutions for workplace functioning, to the hard challenges of employee layoff and furloughs, the HR needs and need for information has been incredible. And with Return to Work now on the front burner, the HR needs of small businesses are only going to be more critical. Find out more about the Paychex research we discussed.
