Adjusting to a Hybrid Work Environment

Formats: 4-hour virtual course  |  1-day instructor-led onsite

A hybrid work environment is a flexible work structure where some employees work virtually and other team members work from a central location or office. Hybrid team structures often allow employees to decide whether they prefer an office environment or working from anywhere remotely, but working in a team blended with both can be challenging.
