Intro to Reimagining Work Culture

Instructor: Jaime Neely
In this course, Trend Hunter's Cheif Culture Officer, Jaime Neely, dives into the future of work that has seemingly already arrived, thanks to the global pandemic. While many organizations swiftly shifted and adapted to working from home, others struggled to navigate and manage a virtual working environment.

What will the workplace look like when we emerge from this global crisis? Re-imagining Work Culture examines how the workplace has forever changed, and what employers must do to meet the needs of their current and future employees. This course leverages Trend Hunter's ever-relevant framework on the 4 Es of Modern Work Culture to understand how you can build a resilient and agile workforce.
