Furlough sucks

Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, we had to make the hard choice to furlough 60% of our US workforce to keep our company going.

It was one of the most challenging decisions we’ve had to make in Softway’s 17-year run. During the unprecedented process of bringing furloughed folks back after being gone for 5-6 weeks—we learned a thing or two—and now we want to share those learnings with you.

If you're bringing people back from furlough—or you're a furloughed employee about to return to work—this FREE 23-page ebook is for you.
