With remote working tools such as VPNs and video conferencing, we ensure the entire workforce can function effectively during a disaster. These proactive steps help us maintain seamless client service, no matter the external conditions.
8. Supporting Mental Well-Being 💡
Natural disasters can be overwhelming, and at Skyscraper, we prioritize our employees’ mental health. We offer access to mental health resources and virtual wellness programs, ensuring our team remains resilient during trying times.
