Companies Doing Their Part: Customers Hard at Work During COVID-19

Practically overnight, COVID-19 required organizations across industries and categories to rethink their approach to business. Markets are facing new challenges – and responding to shifts has had a profound impact on organizations, customers, employees, and communities alike.  

Today, we’re honored to feature the following inspiring examples how Lever and DocuSign customers are doing their part to adapt and overcome the challenge of COVID-19: 

  1. Everlywell Launches First Home COVID-19 Test 

When COVID-19 first became a public health crisis in the United States, access to testing was one of the most urgent needs. Everlywell, a home testing company for consumers, was the first to announce a COVID-19 home test that was available beginning March 23, 2020. The test is only available by prescription, so doctors can continue to screen out other respiratory illnesses like flu, but once the test is approved the process delivers results very quickly.

  1. Best Western Uses VR To Certify Employee Skills

International hotel franchise Best Western is ahead of the game when it comes to remote training opportunities for employees. The long-time DocuSign customer is working hard to plan for the end of the COVID-19 shut down by investing in VR to keep employees’ skills fresh. Since the company’s 2016 implementation of VR-powered training and certification programs, it’s reported a 19% increase in customer rating and a 71% decrease in guest complaints.

Staff training and customer service will be instrumental in re-building after the coronavirus: “For us to recover, you have to overcome this consumer confidence challenge,” said David Kong, CEO of Best Western Hotels and Resorts in a recent interview for Yahoo! News. “And it’s going to depend a great deal on how the virus pans out going forward. It’s about finding the new normal and then what we need to do to make sure people are comfortable traveling again and stay in hotels again.”

Putting People and Employees First During Emergencies
