As companies calibrate the balance between remote and in-office work, company cultures may be facing their greatest challenge in generations.

Temporary work-from-home policies are maturing into more permanent hybrid work models with some mix of at-home and at-office schedules. 65% of those employees that have been working from home during the pandemic want to continue to do so; 58% of those same employees say they will quit if forced to return to a central office to work.

They’ve seen that remote work can work and do not want to return to having a daily commute which they view as a waste of time.

Many of the elements that defined a company’s culture just a few years ago are much less effective today. The hybrid workplace requires a new approach for fostering and sustaining a healthy company culture.

Join multi-million copy best-selling author Bob Nelson, Ph.D. (LinkedIn profile) Author, President, Nelson Motivation Inc. & Mario Tamayo (LinkedIn profile) Principal, Tamayo Group Inc. as they share the six most important elements of fostering and sustaining any company culture in a hybrid work environment—and how you can ensure your team is productive, collaborative, and connected no matter where they are located—or when they work.

You’ll discover:

•     Stats about Today’s Workforce
•     What is a Hybrid Workplace?
•     6 Keys to Managing a Hybrid Workforce
•     The Future of Hybrid Work
•     Q&A

Bonuses:

1. All webinar registrants will receive a complimentary article “Engaging Employees Today: More Than Just Measurement”
2. The first 100 webinar attendees will receive a complimentary copy of 1001 Ways to Engage Employees.
3. All webinar attendees will receive a complimentary copy of the presenters’ latest book, Work Made Fun Gets Done! Easy Ways to Boost Energy, Morale, and Results.

Poor data visualization leads to overly complicated charts that take too long to understand and steal valuable time from your audiences. Worse, a careless approach to charting can lead to misinterpretation of your messaging.

In this webinar, you’ll learn the best practices for creating and formatting charts in PowerPoint to maximize “glanceability,” plus the ins and outs of embedding vs linking, how to use chart templates and placeholders, and why legends can actually prevent audiences from understanding your data.

Nolan will also cover more effective alternatives to those problematic (and boring) pie charts and clustered columns.

Participants will learn how to:

• Craft a “McKinsey-worthy” chart title
• Use color appropriately
• Add emphasis for maximum effect
• Manage complicated charts and overlapping data
• Eliminate “chart junk”
• Recognize when a pie chart is appropriate and when it is absolutely not
