Best Practices for Hybrid Work

This course will be an overview of:

Before arbitrarily assigning mandates of time in the office, step back and learn from those who made all kinds of mistakes and found what works for productivity and employee retention. Hybrid work includes some employees in the office for a certain number of days, some employees fully remote, and some fully on-site. You need to focus on how to enable as much productivity as possible without costing employees too much personal time, sacrifice, or ability to control their workday.

Your incentive to get this right for your business is that you stand to lose employees if you don't! This course offers you the best practices from companies that already experimented with a variety of behaviors and policies. The pandemic forced a shift in the relationship between employees and offices. The hybrid workplace is the emerging solution to that change. Hybrid is the Next Normal.
