The September 2020 issue of MRO magazine features an article titled, "Courage to Transform", by Melissa Schmidt, PEMAC member and Maintenance Management Professional.
We asked a team of volunteers how we can best be of assistance to our members during this time. One said he had never had to deal with so many emotional issues from staff. One of the issues was his team facing was moral dilemmas - his team members have a high sense of duty to both their team, which provides an essential service, and their families.
Working from home? Ideas for leveraging this time.
