GOLDEN, Colo., April 24, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Companies who were planning for growth just weeks ago are now faced with bankruptcy, overwhelmed and making brash decisions to either furlough employees, conduct mass layoffs, defer vendor payments, and/or closing their doors forever.

allows team leaders to plan for their next steps during a crisis.

During a time of crisis, the leader may go into panic mode. They will be frantically researching options to cut expenses, drive promotions, or may sit and wait hoping it passes quickly. They are documenting processes, cross-training staff, and analyzing their most viable resources such as human capital and technology. They are challenged with a mandated remote workforce and need to develop urgent processes for telecommunication. They are realizing the risks of a swift transition to working remotely and with data breaches and technology requirements.

Mapping out a plan for threats is crucial. This plan needs to align with a company's Culture Code. What will your company do when faced with unchartered waters? Keeping your actions aligned with your original ethics are crucial to survival, yet may be hard to see in a time of despair.

Questions to ask your leadership team:

• How will your decisions affect the supply chain?
• What if you renegotiate terms with vendors and they go out of business?
• What if your customers delay payments?
• What if you furlough your workforce and they find new positions?
• How will your staff function with an increase in workload as you cut costs?

What challenges is your company facing?
