COVID Recovery: Reconnect Your Team Safely

As restrictions across Canada are beginning to relax and organisations are starting to ease employees back into the new office environment, Hybrid and Live events are back in our future. Therefore, it's time to start thinking about how to reconnect your team safely.

Reconnecting, re-engaging and listening to the needs of colleagues and employees are as important now as they have always been. The difference now, is we have all been impacted in someway by the global pandemic and we are united in our common goal and above all: Recover from the socioeconomic impacts of COVID-19.

It sounds dramatic but, its true, something things have changed forever. Whenever there is such a fundamental change in the environment it is important to be adaptable and agile so good decisions can be made quickly and easily. For this to be possible teams need to be able to communicate efficiently and effectively.

To test your teams preparedness and to hone their skills we have remastered some of our most popular activities so they can be delivered in line with Provincial COVID-19 Health & Safety guidelines.
