Help Leaders Handle the Changing Workplace

with Matt Gjertsen

Leaders need to step up and inspire their teams through the twists and turns of remote and hybrid work. Being adaptable and keeping a clear, forward-thinking mindset are key to making it all work.

Remote and hybrid work aren’t going anywhere—and leaders play a critical role in helping teams stay connected, productive, and engaged through it all. To succeed in today’s evolving workplace, leaders need to be agile, build trust across distances, and guide teams with clarity and empathy.

What You’ll Learn:

• How to effectively lead remote and hybrid teams while maintaining alignment and connection

• Why flexibility is a top priority for employees—and how leaders can support it

• How to build trust, strengthen communication, and foster team cohesion in any work setting

• The key leadership mindsets needed to adapt and lead through ongoing change

Why This Matters:
According to the Korn Ferry Global Workforce 2024 Survey, flexible work is the #1 priority for many employees—making it essential for retention, engagement, and satisfaction. But supporting flexible teams takes more than policies. It takes skilled, confident leaders.

This session will explore how organizations can equip their leaders with the tools and training to support remote and hybrid teams, build resilience, and lead through change with impact.

Join us for this timely conversation and walk away with practical strategies to lead your team—wherever they are—with clarity, trust, and adaptability.
