WEBINAR FORMAT

HR in the Days of COVID-19:
What we’ve learned and where we go from here
As our businesses slowly embrace a reopening, what role does HR play in that process and how do we prepare for Wave 2 of the coronavirus?
MCHRA will once again offer a virtual format for our June meeting. We have assembled a diverse panel to advise attendees on the best practices to implement during the unprecedented challenges we face with COVID-19.
The panel will address the following questions from each panelists’ unique professional perspective:
o What have we learned from our experience in dealing with the COVID-19 crisis?
o How do we get to a new normal while also preparing for a second wave later this year?
o How do we maintain the good that has come from this crisis so that our new normal is better than the old normal? (e.g., our care and compassion, our broadened awareness of the needs of others, how remote working technologies will empower organizational growth in the future)
Please join us for this very insightful program.
