COVID-19 changed everything. The way we work. And how companies manage change. 2021 will usher in a new world, where leaders across the organization will need to apply “COVID learnings” to create more opportunities for business growth, employee development, and talent retention. In this virtual world of work, how can business leaders develop flexible learning strategies to maximize these opportunities? Join our distinguished panelists as they discuss how organizations can embrace the challenges of COVID-19 to develop dynamic learning strategies that can change not just how employees learn but how businesses thrive.
