In this evolving era of the hybrid office, training managers are responsible for delivering flexible and effective programs that keep employees informed, involved, and invested — whether in-person or remote.

Trainers are increasingly expected to balance in-person programs with digital resources like documents, emails, and video conferencing.

Yet this approach can often result in communication gaps and fragmented experiences for both trainers and learners, resulting in loss of productivity and knowledge.

How can you align your tools and processes to optimize your hybrid training programs?

Dalnaz  will investigate this growing issue for trainers and how you can strengthen your training initiatives and team communications.

Dalnaz  will cover:

• Training gaps in the hybrid workplace and why it’s essential to fill them
• How to create flexible and impactful training in the hybrid age
• 6 actionable steps to building a future-proof hybrid learning and development strategy

Presenter: Dalnaz Hasan (LinkedIn profile) Senior Video Evangelist Panopto; has worked in the video space  supporting both businesses and higher education institutions to find innovative and scalable ways to solve communication and training challenges with video.
