Time: 10 am EST
Zoom Registration Link: https://bit.ly/SDMEmployeeEngagement 
 
Starting over is usually met with fear and trepidation however we are in a season where re-starting is vital to success in life and business. The current season is one that requires us to think differently, recalibrate our mindset relative to how we drive our businesses, how we engage talent, how we realign our structure, and develop talent in the process. It is a season that requires us to be nimble and agile as we live and succeed in the next normal. The new thinking that has to come out is: organizations that will be successful are those who recognize opportunities, those who move quickly to design and implement new business models that meet the needs of a rapidly evolving internal and external customer/client-base. Those capable of understanding and tapping into changing employee expectations in this new normal.

This webinar featuring global HR experts will provide a blended perspective from leaders around the world who will offer catalytic solutions for re-starting, where we move from talking to doing, re-socializing leaders, and exploring real solutions for success.
