Boston Session Details: 6/11, Making Hybrid Work – A Roadmap for Managing Over Time and Distance:

 As your company pivots to a hybrid workplace, navigating the “messy middle” between fully remote and fully in-person can be challenging. A successful transition to “hybrid” requires significant changes to culture, mindsets, structures, competencies, and technologies to maintain productivity, ensure fairness and team cohesion, and nurture employee engagement. In this webinar, we will provide a framework and roadmap to help you recognize and overcome obstacles in implementing hybrid work models. You will gain:

  • Examples of impactful solutions for each key area of the model

 6/18, Successful Recruiting, Hiring, and Onboarding in a Remote or Hybrid Environment: Hiring and onboarding professionals can be tricky in a remote work environment. Without geographic boundaries, the pool of available talent may seem overwhelming. Hiring managers and candidates alike may struggle to virtually assess cultural fit and chemistry. Onboarding, without the in-person human touch, may seem awkward and unfulfilling. In this webinar, we will share strategies for recruiting and hiring remotely and capitalizing on your company’s flexible work environment to attract and hire top candidates. You will learn:

Leaders must learn how to effectively utilize tools, technologies, and systems to facilitate communication and collaboration that is inclusive and leverages individual talents well as the power of the collective team. In this webinar, we will help you balance getting the job done effectively while cultivating working relationships that span barriers of time, distance, culture, and more. You will gain:
