THANK YOU The role you play as a Bradford White contractor has always been essential when it comes to protecting public health by installing and maintaining hot water systems. As we face the COVID-19 pandemic together and work to return to normal, the importance of what you do every day has never been greater. Without your commitment to the communities in which you live and the customers you serve, homes and numerous commercial facilities such as hospitals, doctors’ offices, nursing homes, schools, military installations, food processing plants and more would fail to have adequate hot water vital for sanitization and hygienic purposes. Without a reliable hot water supply, these facilities could not continue to operate. While the Administration and several agencies have recognized the essential nature of what you do to keep America in hot water, we’ve known it all along. That’s why we insist that our products should be installed and maintained by professionals. We are extremely proud and appreciative of your dedication. Be safe and thank you on behalf of the entire Bradford White family! Bradford White Corporation ©2020, Bradford White Corporation. All rights reserved. BWPHAL0620

FOUR PIVOTAL ACTIONS FOR NAVIGATING CHANGES POST COVID-19 By Les Hanks, QSC Business Coach Far too many people look at barriers in front of them as a crisis, and a time to panic. Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have observed big changes in the behavior of businesses and customers, some make sense as a reaction to the pandemic, and some are simply panicked reactions born from fear of the unknown. The question for business owners however is simple. Is this a crisis, or an opportunity? Perceptions are reality, and how employees are led during this time is critical. Great leaders relish the challenge of solving huge problems while motivating their teams to see the possibilities for GROWTH, rather than concentrating on the pitfalls. Post COVID-19 pandemic America presents opportunities for improving and yes, even growing your business. There are four pivotal actions to consider moving forward. 20 Alabama Contractor • www.alabamaphcc.org • Summer 2020
