As COVID-19 vaccine distribution continues, anticipation is growing that businesses will be able to return to some level of normalcy as they operate during the pandemic.
Tim Sheehy, President of the Metropolitan Milwaukee Association of Commerce, discussed this during the WTMJ Roundtable: Vacs Facts Thursday. He says businesses will need to address two factors in order to succeed once the pandemic eases.
“The first is the confidence that their employees have that the work environment they’re going back is going to be safe,” says Sheehy. “The second issues for companies, especially those that have direct consumer, is the confidence of the consumer. I’m not talking about their confidence in the economy, but their confidence to go out and do things that the companies can reach them as customers on. Whether that is going to a Brewers game, going to a restaurant, traveling, doing those kinds of things.”
