The Ethical Re-Opening Summit
Tuesday, April 27
As workplaces move to re-open, it’s not just be a matter of “un-flipping” the remote workplace switch from last March.
On Tuesday, April 27, a whole host of amazing and awesome humans are convening in conversation to discuss challenging questions like:
- How can I maintain a sense of community, connection, and shared purpose as I manage different kinds of organizational cultures: fully onsite, fully remote, and a hybrid approach?
- How can I employ and invent different organizing frameworks to share more power and equity in my organization’s decision making?
- COVID-related employment law seems to change daily. What’s legal, and what’s not, when it comes to COVID and these quickly evolving employment laws?
- How can I intentionally approach reopening my workplace with environmental impacts in mind?
- What new policies, practices, and procedures should I institute to support everyone who works with us? And,
- How can I help co-create a future where everyone thrives?
Have you been wondering about any of these things too? Well, you’re in luck!
