The panel will be moderated by Amy Friedrich, president of U.S. Insurance Solutions at Principal<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cThe pandemic transformed the way businesses operate. Businesses continue to make significant investments in technology to reach their customers and interact with employees,\u201d said Friedrich. \u201cPublic-private partnerships, like the SBDA, are key to promoting solutions that help employers access the tools they need to protect their employees, reach their customers, and run their business.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe discussion will center on the need for greater financial inclusion, and how small business owners can find the right solutions to attract and retain talent and grow their business. Digital tools make it easier for small business owners to evaluate alternatives that make sense for their situation \u2013 and make it easier to implement and maintain once a selection is made.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cSBA\u2019s Small Business Digital Alliance is working to ensure that entrepreneurs in every community in America are ready to take advantage of digital tools and resources to start, grow, operate, and build resilience,\u201d said Administrator Guzman. \u201cWith strong partners like Principal, we\u2019re working to improve success outcomes for small businesses, especially those from underserved communities across the country. From accelerating e-commerce and social media strategies to strengthening the workforce with online tools, we are meeting businesses where they increasingly are \u2013 online.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe SBDA is a co-sponsorship agreement between the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) and Business Forward, Inc., a non-profit organization working with small business leaders in support of policies promoting America\u2019s economic competitiveness. The coalition brings together major players, influencers, and companies in financial services, tech, e-commerce, benefits, and other industries to help connect small businesses with digital tools, trainings, and expanded opportunities, and grow their digital networks to reach new customers.\n<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.principal.com%2F&amp;esheet=52922742&amp;newsitemid=20220921006033&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=About+Principal+Financial+Group%26%23174%3B&amp;index=3&amp;md5=5689a967186d7dd4ab3be573d37a7add\"><b>About Principal Financial Group<sup>\u00ae<\/sup><\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\nPrincipal Financial Group<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> (Nasdaq: PFG) is a global financial company with 18,500 employees<sup>1<\/sup> passionate about improving the wealth and well-being of people and businesses.
