One-on-one assistance to help your business during COVID-19
Whether they have remained open throughout the COVID-19 outbreak, or they are now preparing to open their doors once again, businesses throughout Minnesota are adjusting their practices and workspaces to mitigate health risks and boost consumer confidence. The Grow Minnesota! team at the Minnesota Chamber is here to help your business. Our team has consulted with hundreds of businesses about best practices for returning to work.
First step: Read this checklist. The Grow! team developed this checklist based on feedback from hundreds of companies who have developed or executed “return to work” plans for their business.
Then, reach out to the Grow! team for one-on-one assistance. Their knowledge and experience can work to understand your business challenges. They can find answers to your questions, connect you with other businesses and critical resources, navigate the MN Supplier Match database and help you prepare a “return to work” plan.
