It's a frustrating and stressful time for those working from home. Now school has started and as we know, most schools are only in session 2 days a week. The rest of the time it's up to parents and caregivers to help teach. It's hard to stay relaxed and have a clear head with work deadlines and keeping your kids on task at the same time!!

That's where "What The Fruit Cup" comes into play!!! ( If you haven't' seen the commercial, it is brilliant!) Leadership teams need to be more innovative than ever to come up with ways to keep their staff members happy, positive and motivated while working from home! So how do you do this? Golden Hello Company has lots of ideas for you.

The Minuteman Press franchise is sponsoring a campaign to help businesses get back on their feet by creating a local website called Bounce Back Fairport. It’s a free community website where you can list your business and encourage shopping locally, so we can all recover quickly. Essentially, its free local advertising, with no strings attached. Go to https://bouncebackusa.minuteman.com/locations/ny/fairport/ where you will find our local page for this area.

Again, it is free and takes only a minute to list your business.
