Series Description

With the worst of the pandemic pretty clearly behind us, and the picture of a returning workforce more clearly before us, it’s time to take the steps necessary to assemble the post-pandemic workplace. For many employers, the workplace will not be a return to the way things were, but a new normal that has yet to be determined. There will be new expectations, new fears, new employees, even new business models to meld into a productive enterprise. And there will be new legal and compliance issues to overcome.

Attendees joined the Pierce Atwood employment team for this two-part webinar series as we explored these new challenges and helped you re-imagine and recreate your workplace.
