In the 2021 HRPA HR Trends Survey, 89% of respondents indicated that they expected their organizations would retain hybrid work practices following the pandemic. With so many organizations adopting hybrid work permanently, HR professionals continue to be called upon to design and implement hybrid work programs, policies and practices that effectively respond to worker expectations while support organizational goals, strategies, and operations. It’s a real balancing act! The HRPA is also a medium-size employer, and so we too grappled with the challenge of hybrid work. Join us for this short, informative, and dare we say, ‘culture changing’ webinar, where the Association’s small-but-mighty HR team of Kris Tierney, Vice-President and Diane Biesinger, Specialist will share their experiences, some lessons learned, and the HRPA’s path forward in its new “Balanced-Hybrid Workplace”.
