7/23 @ 5:00pm - Join our friends at KettleSpace for an inspiring panel discussion on the new state of professional flexibility.

Our lives are now being defined by pre- and post-quarantine eras. We've left a world where only a small subset of society is able to enjoy flexible work benefits and are entering a new paradigm where the whole notion of flexibility in the workplace is being redefined. From hiring practices, benefits and location, to physical space, etiquette, and productivity, our expectations around the workday are changing. As we forge a new path forward, it's critical for us to understand where we are heading as a collective workforce.

This event is the first in a series of panel discussions that aim to deconstruct ideas relating to the Future of Work and explore different approaches to our new professional reality.

Sign up at the link below.

Join us for an inspiring panel discussion on the new state of professional flexibility. Find the Zoom link in your confirmation email.
