COVID-19 Resources

May 13, 2020

“The current situation demands both thoughtful action and flexibility from everyone, as we each work to balance the new challenges that confront us all. For all of us, certainly patience, flexibility, and grace should guide our actions and our interactions.” CDC, March, 2020

At Praxis we have been deeply impressed with how the leaders we work with in employee-owned companies, nonprofits, and health care organizations have responded to the needs of their staff, clients, and other stakeholders in the midst of the turmoil created by the coronavirus pandemic.

We are developing resources that we hope will be helpful for you. Please continue to check this page for new materials. If you’re interested in customized support for your organization, please contact us to learn more, or take a look at our description of Praxis COVID-19 Services.
