Work in the Time of COVID-19

It has been awhile, hasn’t it?  My intentions are always good but the reality is that I’ve had some swings due to my mother’s health and my family’s support of my actions and attitude….which will be saved for another BLOG, sometime in the near future….
 
Suffice it to say that by the time the COVID crisis arose, I hadn’t seen my mother for about one (1) month…and then she ended up in the hospital with pneumonia during the crisis…fortunately for all of us she was diagnosed as a negative for COVID and the decision was made to place her in a nursing facility (long term care) because the dependability of her agency ‘caregivers’ was very irregular.  We found a COVID free facility where she has been for the past two (2) months.  The facility has developed two (2) employee cases and one (1) patient case but so far my mother has not contracted the illness.  I go to stand by her window as many days in the week as I am able and it is sad to see her bedridden but on some days, she is still ready to smile….
 
This crisis has brought out many emotions in me that I thought would be dormant for the next 30 years….however, the loss of jobs and the abhorrent manner this crisis has been handled by some members of our federal government is forcing me to speak up and announce that I will be devoting the remainder of my life to insure that all individuals, no matter what race, sexual preference, gender, color, ethnicity, etc. have equal protections when it comes to obtaining positions in the workforce.
 
I’ve been a federal employee since January and I am loving what I am doing…recruiting for a division of the government that is part of a mandate essential to our constitution and being.  If you have read any of my former BLOGs, you would be aware that some of the most important professional/personal accomplishments I have ever made at anytime or anywhere is helping someone choose a career path.  I have decided that I’m going to alter the direction of SCB Services, LLC to eliminate offering Medical Records Review (which we haven’t done for some time) and focus on all types of skilled staffing, Human Resources’ Consulting and Career Development. 
 
The world is a much different place than it was one (1) year ago or even six (6) months ago and what worked for all of us in the former economy, may not work for us going forward.  Some of you may want to assess your financial futures or your ability to be dependent of something intangible going forward.  With my many years of experience in the world of Human Resources/staffing/recruiting/consulting/technical expertise in hiring issues and, yes, whistle blowing, I can help.
 
Over the next few weeks I will be altering the web site to reflect this new direction on the inclusion of Career Development as a focus of SCB Services, LLC and each BLOG I write will give some advice as to handle work related issues during this time of COVID.  If you have any questions or want to make additional comments, please feel free to contact me at Rosanne@scbhrserv.com or via 484-947-7063.  I look forward to hearing from you as we move forward into the future.
