About Event
The pandemic completely transformed our previous world of work; the typical 40-hour work week was promptly replaced by flexible schedules and remote work, resulting in a distributed workforce of employees who were no longer willing to settle for less.
As we continue adapting to this new post-pandemic workforce, more questions and challenges ensue. During this virtual experience, we’ll dive into how you can face those obstacles and build a sustainable work culture at your organization. You’ll learn from experts that are ahead of the trends and get the information you need to keep your company on the forefront of the market.
