Small business owners can receive free training online addressing how the pandemic is affecting workplaces.
Rebecca Lobina with the Northwest Missouri State University Small Business Development Center says the training is free thanks to CARES Act funding.
One session in the 'Managing Forward' series will address remote workplaces.
"More and more people are working from home," Lobina tells host Barry Birr on the KFEQ Hotline. "Either by desire to do so before the pandemic or, now, with the pandemic because they have to or because, while they're quarantined, if that happens to them, they have to work from home. So this talks about how you can effectively manage those people that are working from home."
Other sessions will address cybersecurity, sales and disaster planning for small businesses.
The sessions take place on Zoom and most start next week. For more information or to sign up, visit the Missouri Small Business Development Center's website.
