The Federal Government has expanded the eligibility criteria for employees to qualify for JobKeeper 1.0 to make it easier for more employees to qualify for JobKeeper payments.

Perhaps you could schedule a weekly meeting to talk about any big issues and ensure you welcome any opinions and feedback from all your employees.
It’s important to make your staff feel they’re part of the business, rather than a small cog. Be transparent about what’s going on in the company and you’ll find they’re more willing to take ownership of their role in it.
