Don’t Get Stuck: Preparing Your Team or Organization’s for Post COVID Reentry/Reopening

Wednesday, May 27 | 9:00 - 10:00 a.m.

This interactive 90-minute virtual workshop explores HOW organizations and businesses should navigate the critical conversations that will unlock the collective wisdom within their organizations as we all consider re-opening.

As more and more businesses begin to discuss teams and employees returning to some form of normal - don’t get stuck! Whether it’s days, weeks, or months before you begin to transition your workforce back to the “office,” you cannot just flip a switch and have everything go back to what it was before COVID. Successful organizations coming out of this will be the ones that intentionally leverage the experiences of the past few months to learn, grow, and evolve who they are to their employees and their customers. It will be those organizations that will find themselves positioned to thrive with heightened levels of engagement with the people with whom they work.

Let UMBC Training Centers help! Come learn and experience how to design a generative, interactive micro-summit for your organization that will allow the very best of what was, what is, and what could be. This innovative session will leverage all that you and your employees and/or customers have learned about themselves, each other, your business and the world so you emerge as a better, faster, stronger organization.
