The Changing Workforce & Workplace --- May 13 PEN Webinar

The Performance Excellence Network — in partnership with the St. Paul Area Chamber and the Wisconsin Center for Performance Excellence — is pleased to host an online webinar discussion on Thursday, May 13: “The Changing Workforce & Workplace.”

Join us as we take a deep dive into how COVID has changed our workforce and our workplace.  With more employees choosing to work from home (an estimate of 80% of the US workforce is still working from home at least a majority of the time), what does that mean for an organization?  How can organizations retain the best of the virtual/remote/flexible model, but also get back to the office?  How can leaders maintain their culture with a split or hybrid workforce in a post-pandemic world?

We'll hear from three speakers, each exploring what could be permanent changes in how we work:

• Nancy Lyons, owner/CEO of Clockwork and author of Work Like a Boss: A Kick-in-the-Pants Guide to Finding (and Using) Your Power at Work -- will explore the changing nature of work and how leaders can preserve (or enhance) their organization's culture as work models continue to shift
• Tina Hoye, president & principal at Real Estate Services, the NTH Team, will explore required shifts in physical work space -- ensuring workplace health, safety & accessibility in a shifting work environment
• And a third speaker TBA will focus on the shifting aspects of work related to our people -- drivers of workforce engagement, performance management & development, managing change, and equity & inclusion -- as work-related models shift

Each speaker will have about 10-12 minutes to share their insights, after which, we’ll welcome questions and discussion with attendees.

As work environments continue to evolve – and will for much of this and likely future years – come explore how others are adapting and optimizing how work gets done.

This session is Thursday, May 13 from 8:00-9:00 CT (optional speed networking and mingling 7:45-8:00), using Zoom MEETING.  Grab your coffee and breakfast, and join us for a rich discussion.  Free for PEN/SPAC/WCPE members; $20 for non-members.
