IEDC Virtual Annual Conference Presentation: The Future of Work After COVID-19

 

This is the 2020 presentation I gave at the Virtual Annual Conference on the post COVID changes in how we work. How will work be changed in the long term? We have learned that it is possible and, in some cases, preferable to work from home (or any) that portable work allows us to be productive and engaged. If you would like to handouts, outline, narrative, polls, and breakout questions, drop me an email and I send them to you. dean@whittakerassociates.com
