9) Summary: Five Lessons Managers Can Learn From Casinos When They Re-Open Their Own Businesses

Name: Brian O'Connell SHRM.org

Category: Business and Finance

Email: query-axvn@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: SHRM.org

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 24 June

Query:

STORY THEME: With more and more U.S. states reopening after
months of COVID-related lockdowns, companies (especially those
that greet the public) are beginning to open their doors and
greet people and customers again.

To make that experience a winning one for both parties,
companies may want to take a page out of casinos, who are
rewriting the management book as crowds roll into gambling
venues again (i.e., improve air quality, leveraging
sterilization technology, and the installation of plexiglass
barriers, among other features.)

In this story for SHRM/HR Magazine, we're looking to study how
casinos were able to successfully open their gambling tables for
customers and what lessons other industries/companies can learn
- good or bad - from what casinos, as they open for business.

Specifically, we want to know:

1. What lengths did casinos have to go to re-open, and what did
they do right and what did they do wrong?

2. What lessons can other industries, especially those with
heavy concentrations of people, learn from casinos in re-opening
from COVID-19 these days - lessons both good and bad? Need to be
specific with responses and outlooks. What did you like and
didn't like from casino re-opening strategies - and why?

3. Anything you would have done differently? 4. Anything the
casinos did to re-open that seems out of sorts now (i.e., like
using sterilization tools and cleaner air) that will become
permanent now?

5. What are you planning to do when your businesses re-open -
please be as specific as possible? All comments welcome. Answer
any or all of the above questions.

Thanks . . .

Requirements:

Requirements = Management experts, office planning experts,
corporate management execs, COVID-19 experts, health experts,
risk management experts, casino staffers, managers, and other
insiders.
