Blue Ox Success Series: Handling the Hybrid Work World

Description

Our work world has changed and with it came remote work, hybrid meetings, and trying to team build with people in different locations. We get it and are here to help.

After this discussion, you will have a better understanding of the complexity, the benefits, and the planning needed for a hybrid work experience to be beneficial for your office and your employees.

We'll focus on:

1. Hybrid -- What are we talking about?
2. Planning – I didn’t think about that!
3. Flexibility – This is more than being able to do your laundry.
4. Creativity -- One shoe does not fit everyone.
5. Wrap up – We can make it work!

We welcome attendance in person and on Zoom. Please email your preference to Paula Chapulis: BlueOx@BrainerdLakesChamber.com. (Max in person capacity is 32. Zoom information will be emailed to virtual attendees.)
