‘Humanizing’ the workplace and putting people first

About This Webinar

The pandemic has tested us and the preconceived notions of community and company culture that many of us had. That said, we have learned much from the last year, and now is the time for leaders to apply those lessons towards how we will work together in the future. Human connections are vital to our mental health, our feeling of inclusion, and a company’s ability to build and maintain culture.

As we shift to the “new normal,” being intentional about how, where, and the ways in which we work are more important than ever. This discussion will highlight the opportunities that now lay before company leadership and tactics that managers can begin employing today to prioritize a positive experience for their people.
