We are one week into working remotely. So what have we learned? It’s pretty much what we’ve been doing with so many of you for years–working remotely! So for us, it’s another day at the office. (Except we are not physically there.) But in every other sense, via email, chat, and by the phone, we are here for YOU. We have also learned that we are highly adaptable as a society. Just think about it: two weeks ago, only about 25% of our industry was working remotely. Now, almost everyone in the country is working remotely in insurance. TWO WEEKS changed an entire industry! Our Alaskan Insurance Community is very strong and vital. We are all in this together, and when faced with challenges, we work harder and with more collaboration than ever. #strongertogether #alaskatuff And finally, as we try and figure out this new normal, please continue to stay healthy, drink lots of water, and please stay safe. The best news is that no one in our Alaskan Insurance Community that we know of has gotten this terrible illness-and we want to keep it that way. May God continue to watch over us all. Please continue to wash your hands. Please stay home.
