TeamsYour organization no doubt made the shift to more of a remote workforce these past few years. But now that we’re moving out of pandemic necessities and into a new hybrid reality, expectations have shifted yet again.

In this panel discussion, two communications leaders will discuss how the pandemic changed the way they engaged their employees, offering tips for implementing communication software and strategies with the flexibility that today’s employees expect.
