Supporting a Remote Work Force

    As employees demand a better work-life balance, colleges are finding that they need to be more flexible than ever, especially in the face of a competitive labor market. How can higher-ed leaders support their work force today?

    The new work landscape requires institutions to create new policies, technologies, and collaboration strategies to keep up with the ever-changing environment. Join this virtual forum to explore questions such as:

    • What are the best ways to support today’s academic work force, wherever employees are based?
    • What have campus leaders learned from the past two years?
    • How are campus work practices continuing to evolve?

    Join us as we convene experts and campus leaders from around the country to discuss how colleges are navigating the complexity of remote and flexible workplaces, on Thursday, October 6, at 2 p.m. ET.

    With Support From HP.
