You’re implementing and providing hybrid services. You’re figuring out what hybrid work model works for your organization. You’re trying to figure out what works best for the Newcomers and communities you serve. It’s still all a bit overwhelming.
Are you:
- Surviving? Getting by; doing what you need to, using digital tools; focused on short-term goals; talking about remote work, limited Newcomer involvement
- Striving? Planning & talking about how work is changing; medium-term goals; planning remote work, Newcomers can be involved in service design
- Thriving? Hit your stride, hybrid service strategy; long-term goals; implementing remote work strategy, Newcomers are deeply involved in service design
Most of the organizations I’ve asked are surviving or striving. While almost a third indicate they’re thriving, that’s not enough. The question is, how do we move together as a sector to thrive in the transition to a hybrid service model?
This panel will help answer that. In this workshop you’ll hear from three different sector perspectives.
Your panelists and additional resources
A front line service provider organization will provide their experience transition to a sector hybrid service/work model.
