Oct.13, 2021 HealthcareNext Event

The Great Reshuffle

Whether you’re working on-site, remotely, or in a hybrid model, your organization’s daily environment has likely transformed.

Healthcare leaders and those in other industries have had to reimagine the workplace and traditional strategies to keep their teams connected, engaged, and empowered. What can we learn from these experiences to ensure a work culture that promotes employee collaboration, camaraderie, and growth as we establish our new normal?

Join Inforum for its fall Virtual HealthCareNext event to hear from a panel of experts about innovative ways their organizations have led through these transitions and their top tools to successfully sustain a culture of employee engagement and productivity.

Among topics we will discuss:

· Creative strategies to drive collaboration, cultivate culture and remove barriers in evolving work models.

· Addressing equity and wedges between remote employees and those reporting in person.

· Retaining and recruiting people who may expect a more flexible work model and/or attractive physical workplace moving forward.
