Register now.   Note from the editor One of the challenges CFOs have faced throughout the pandemic is the stress shouldered by their organization's employees, particularly their line employees. For organizations that have maintained an in-person presence — stores, hotels, restaurants — line employees have been that all-important direct connection to customers. For manufacturers, they've been the ones manning the factory or warehouse floor, keeping product shelves full and supply chains moving.
