Mindful Leadership and Engagement After the Storm
This Thursday, September 10, 2020
10:00 AM - 11:00 AM
Free to members of the Michigan Chamber / $49 for nonmembers
This program is a discussion of the effect of the pandemic on the workplace and workforce itself. It is clear that the workforce is fractured and businesses that are restarting will find it a challenge to reengage their employees. There will be an enormous amount of work that will continue to be done from home for the near future. In some industries this may become permanent. How managers will motivate and measure productivity is a big concern. Rebuilding teams that existed before the pandemic may be a problem. These and other issues will be discussed in the webinar. This presentation will also address the workplace implications and stresses associated with racially charged issues including inequality and injustice.
This webinar will be recorded and available on-demand shortly after live webinar.
