Maintaining Organizational Culture in a Virtual Workplace
If your organization has transitioned to a hybrid or all-virtual working model, these challenges may sound familiar: How do we preserve our culture when we’re no longer in the same location? How do we build collaborative teams with coworkers we’ve never met in person? How do we keep employees engaged and excited about their work? This session will provide a candid look at how two different organizations addressed these challenges using a new app developed in house, third-party platforms, ingenuity and memes. You will hear lessons learned and practical things you can try at your organization.
