What was once the exception is practically now the rule.  People are working remotely in record numbers\, and many offices have morphed into hybrid environments meshing a centralized workforce with multiple remote participants.  The benefits of remote work are readily identifiable and meaningful\, but the challenges created by remote and hybrid workplaces may be far greater\, encompassing a host of issues:  morale\, culture\, team work\, well-being\, productivity\, recruiting and retention\, training and mentoring\, and others. In the face of these challenges\, strong leadership is more important than ever. \nJoin the Leadership Champlain Alumni Committee for our next “Media Club” on Friday\, January 21\, 2022\, at noon to discuss this relevant and intriguing topic.  We will be joined by special guest Michael Ly of Reconciled.  Michael has been on the cutting edge of remote work issues for many years\, and we are delighted to have him on board to share his insights and experience. \nIn advance of the discussion\, here are some resources to check out: \n\nMichael Ly\, Statement before the U.S. Senate Committee on Homeland Security & Governmental Affairs on Remote Work (LINK)\nRagan Communications – Remote Culture Archives\n“From Remote To Hybrid Working: The Role Of Leadership”\, Forbes\n\nLooking forward to connecting with you on the 21st! \nREGISTER \n  URL:https://lccvermont.org/event/media-club-5/ LOCATION:Zoom CATEGORIES:Leadership Champlain Alumni Event ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://lccvermont.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/LC-Alumni-Media-Club.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20220125T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20220125T200000 DTSTAMP:20260513T215251 CREATED:20210113T172857Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210113T172857Z UID:10004171-1643133600-1643140800@lccvermont.org SUMMARY:Start Up: Comprehensive Business Planning DESCRIPTION:The Women’s Small Business Program (WSBP)\, Start Up class has provided top-quality business education to entrepreneurs and aspiring entrepreneurs since 1989.
