What We Will Talk About
Virtual Work – what seemed like an interesting concept in 2019 became a reality for the entire world in 2020! Many large companies like Google and Microsoft declared quite early that they were not bringing their workforces back into a bricks and mortar environment for the foreseeable future and that gave their employees the runway to plan.
Associations had to deal with this on a smaller scale, and, for better or worse, have embraced the concept of virtual work. What does the future hold as we emerge from the pandemic? Some will return to a “normal” bricks and mortar office environment, some will do a blend and others will remain fully virtual. Where does your organization stand on this continuum and where do you as an individual fit within that? Is there harmony between your thoughts and those of your organization?
Join us as we discuss the future of Associations as they relate to virtual work environments.
